In Talegaon Dabhade, a disturbing incident took place at MIMER Hospital where a 37-year-old woman, Rupali Somnath Indalkar, and her newborn baby tragically lost their lives during childbirth on August 18. The family alleges severe negligence and misconduct from the hospital administration and medical professionals. Rupali was admitted to the hospital on August 17 following a check-up, and hospital staff advised her to undergo a Caesarean section.
On August 18, she was admitted at around 4 pm, and after the admission, she was moved into the ICU room. Her family claims that they were not informed about Rupali's deteriorating health despite breathing difficulties. Rupali was placed on a ventilator, and upon her family's request to see the baby, she was taken to YCM Hospital and later Sassoon Hospital, where doctors confirmed the baby had also died.
Rupali's mother, Surekha Chinchankar, accused the hospital of lacking an oxygen machine during the surgery and falsely misleading the family about the baby's whereabouts. The incident has drawn attention from NCP Maval MLA Sunil Shelke, who has initiated a thorough investigation by forensic team, and the police have assured a transparent probe. However, the exact circumstances leading to the deaths remain unconfirmed.
