After Bombay HC nudge, state files case against gynaecologist in newborn's death in MTP at Satara civil hospital
A suspended gynaecologist faces charges after a 17-year-old rape survivor alleged her newborn starved to death for DNA sampling. The baby, born after a failed medical termination, was allegedly denied specialist care. An inquiry indicted the doctor and civil surgeon, prompting an FIR and departmental inquiries. The High Court had previously expressed dismay over the government's initial stance.
