Woman, newborn die after delivery in MP's Rewa; video shows she was screaming for help — 'They will

A 25-year-old woman reportedly died during her first delivery at Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital (GMH) in Rewa, along with her unborn child. This incident has ignited widespread outrage, particularly following the emergence of a disturbing video related to the case. The circumstances surrounding the delivery have prompted significant public concern and demands for accountability.

The woman, identified as Kalpana Mishra, a resident of Baikunthpur village, was seen hours before her death walking out of the ward, crying, screaming, and pleading for help. In the video, she was seen telling her mother that if this kind of treatment continues, they will kill her. Nursing staff were seen trying to restrain and pacify her, while one staff member was heard asking, “Have you gone mad? Kalpana died shortly afterward. In response to the video, the dean Dr Sunil Agrawal suspended two doctors Dr Sonal Agrawal from the department of obstetrics and gynecology and Dr Nidhi Pandey from the department of anesthesiology along with two nursing staff.

Family Claims Negligence in Daughter’s Death

Kalpana’s father, Ramsharan Mishra, stated that his daughter was active right up until her passing. He emphasized that she was neither in a coma nor receiving oxygen support at the time of her death. Mishra alleges that her death was a result of negligence in her treatment.

She had undergone check‑ups only twice during her pregnancy at a private hospital and may have suffered from high blood pressure, which caused panic. He demanded action against the hospital administration. An inquiry has been ordered to know the cause of death.

Hospital superintendent Dr Rahul Mishra said, “The woman’s condition was poor from the beginning.
