Thane Teen Falsely Declared Pregnant After Three Hospital Tests
A 17-year-old girl went to a government hospital because she had problems with her period.
While she was there, doctors tested her to see if she was pregnant.
They tested her three times, even though her family did not agree to the tests.
The doctors then told the girl's family that she was pregnant.
The family got scared and took her to a private hospital for another test.
That test showed she was not pregnant at all.
The girl got treatment for her period problem at the private hospital.
After the doctors gave her medicines, she was able to go home.
Many people think the government hospital made a big mistake.
The city's Municipal Commissioner has now ordered an investigation into what happened.
A 17-year-old girl was admitted to Shastri Nagar Hospital in Thane district for menstrual problems.
She was subjected to three pregnancy tests without her family's consent at the government hospital.
Doctors told the family the tests had come back positive for pregnancy.
A subsequent test at a private hospital came back negative, raising questions over the government hospital's procedures.
The Municipal Commissioner ordered an inquiry after the matter was raised at a Standing Committee meeting.
