Newborn's Charred Body Found After Hospital Fire
A fire broke out in a hospital in Rewa, Madhya Pradesh, during a surgery.
The hospital said the fire was caused by a short circuit and that no one was hurt.
But later, they found a badly burned baby's body in the operation room.
The baby's mother had just given birth, and the baby was stillborn.
The hospital said they were so busy putting out the fire and helping the mother that they forgot about the baby's body.
The family is very upset and says the hospital tried to hide what happened.
The hospital doesn't have a fire safety permit, which makes people even more worried about safety.
A fire broke out in the operation theatre of Sanjay Gandhi Hospital in Rewa, Madhya Pradesh, during a surgical procedure.
The hospital initially claimed no casualties, but a newborn's charred body was later found during post-fire cleaning.
The baby was stillborn during the mother's delivery, and the body was left behind in the chaos of the fire.
The family alleges negligence and a cover-up by the hospital, claiming they were not informed about the baby's condition or the incident.
The hospital lacks a valid fire safety certificate, raising concerns about systemic negligence.
