“The doctors were not allowing her inside, they said that she is not in pain, she is not in pain. We kept telling them that she is,” a family member is seen saying in a video that has emerged since the incident. As per news report of The Indian Express, the hospital, however, maintains that the woman was not denied admission. “Her papers clearly show that she was advised admission, but she did not reach the ward. There was probably some breakdown in communication. We do not know what happened, but she delivered the baby on her way to the emergency department in the morning.
