Although power failures are uncommon in the city, 26-year-old Bhandup resident Saheedunnissa Ansari’s delivery by C-section in a municipal maternity home on Monday was conducted under torchlight of mobile phones. Doctors delivered a dead boy, weighing almost 4kg, and she was declared dead a few hours later at Sion Hospital, where she was rushed after midnight the same day. BMC has set up a 10-member committee, including doctors from state-run JJ Hospital, that will meet on Thursday. The woman’s family is shattered. Ansari’s relatives mobilised protests outside the 30-bed Sushma Swaraj maternity home on Tuesday and Wednesday seeking answers. tnn
