NOIDA: In a case of suspected illegal abortion, the Gautam Budh Nagar district hospital has lodged a complaint with the Noida police against a woman for allegedly trying to dispose off a five-month-old female foetus. The woman was apprehended by the chief medical superintendent of the hospital on Friday afternoon when she was about to throw the foetus, which was wrapped in an old newspaper, into the dustbin. Hospital authorities suspect that diagnostic centres around the hospital are conducting unauthorized pre-natal sex determination tests as several women have come to the hospital for abortions in the recent past.
The incident occurred around 2.15pm when the medical superintendent, Dr Ashok Mishra, was leaving the hospital after his day's work along with his wife, Dr Meena Mishra. "We suddenly spotted a woman hurrying towards the exit gate. She was carrying a newspaper-wrapped parcel. My wife questioned the woman, Reshma and found the packet stained with blood. Reshma said she was carrying soiled clothes and was going to dispose them," Mishra said.
The CMS added that they found out that her sister-in-law, Saba, was admitted in the hospital's labour room. When they examined the packet they found that it contained a dead female foetus.
Meena Mishra, a gynaecologist at the district hospital, said Saba had consulted her two days ago and requested for an abortion. "I refused as the foetus was 5 months old. When I confronted Saba again when I took Reshma to the labour room and examined her, the foetus was no longer in Saba's womb," Dr Mishra said.
