In a case of grave medical negligence, staff at a government healthcare centre reportedly caused an unborn baby to be decapitated inside the womb in Rajasthan’s Jaisalmer district. The incident, which took place on January 6, came to light after a police complaint at the Ramgarh Police Station.

“A doctor was put on awaited posting order and two male nurses were suspended on Thursday night after finding negligence in the unborn delivery case,” Joint Director-Jodhpur Zone, S. K. Parmar said.

In their complaint, the family members alleged that the male nurses pulled the foetus forcefully, following which the baby was separated into two parts, with the lower body coming out and the head left in the womb.
