A couple has alleged that their new-born male child was swapped for a girl child in a Noida hospital.
According to Kishor Srivastava, father of the baby, the Surbhi hospital authorities had told him that his wife Maya had given birth to a baby boy but later after a few hours they said the baby was a girl.
A mistake ?
Kishor told MiD DAY, "My wife under went a caesarian at around 5:44 am on Sunday and we were informed by a nurse that a baby boy was born but after three hours of delivery we were told that it was girl. I don't mind having a boy or girl but how can a hospital make such mistake.
Foul play
"There is some foul play. Just after the delivery I informed all my relatives about the baby boy but after three hours they changed their statement."
Kishor also alleged that no one from his family was allowed to attend the operation and no one had seen the baby after the operation.
'Misinformation'
"The mother of the baby is unaware whether she has given birth to a boy or girl, as the baby was not shown to us. Three babies were born today two of which are girls and one is boy we are still not sure why hospital authority misinformed us," he said.
Miscommunication
The hospital authorities said it is a clear case of "miscommunication," completely denying that swapping has been done.
Dr Preeti Chauhan, who carried out the operation said, "I am very sure that Maya gave birth to a girl and don't know who communicated to her family that it's a boy. We are ready for all medical tests.
We have asked the relatives of the patient to conduct the DNA test of the baby and mother. If some one is found guilty of miscommunicating with the patient and her relatives, due action would be taken," she said.
