Hyderabad: Newborn falls off bench on which he was delivered, dies

A mother lost her child as soon as he was born, after he fell off the bench of a government-run hospital on which the delivery took place, in Telangana's Khammam district on 11 September.

The father of the child has alleged that it happened due to the negligence of the medical staff that denied the mother a bed in the hospital.

The mother delivered the baby on the bench inside the hospital.

The Khammam Government Hospital, however, has refuted the charges.

Further details are awaited.
