Samples for DNA test collected at Sethi Colony hosp, videos made

Jaipur: The samples for DNA analysis of mothers and their babies in suspected babies swapping case happened at Mahila Chikitsalaya on September 1 were collected at government-run Sethi Colony hospital on Thursday amid police security and in the presence of doctors.
The samples were collected from two women, one from Jaipur’s Ghat Gate area and another from Karauli who had given birth to their babies at a gap of eight minutes at the hospital. Since the hospital is suspecting that the babies have been swapped due to ‘human error’ at the operation theatre, DNA analysis has been ordered to identify the biological parents of the two newborns, one of them is a boy and the other is a girl.
Lal Kothi station house officer Surendra Singh said, “Since Sethi Colony government-run hospital is allocated to them for all the medico-legal cases, they had collected the samples at Sethi Colony hospital and not from Mahila Chikitsalaya.”
Even though the two mothers and their two infants are staying at the Mahila Chikitsalaya, they were transported to the Sethi Colony hospital by ambulances.
Singh said, “We have collected the samples and they will be send to forensic science laboratory on Friday for DNA analysis.”
While doctors were collecting the samples, the officials also conducted videography to keep it as an evidence of sampling.
A 31-year-old Mohammad Irfan, resident of Ghat Gate area, and father of one of the two babies, said, “We also wanted that the samples should not be collected at Mahila Chikitsalaya as the incident had happened here. We were taken to Sethi Colony where blood samples were taken for DNA test.”
The parents of the two babies are eagerly waiting for the day when they will be handed over their babies and they get discharged from the hospital.
