P. Pandiammal from Ellampatti near Vadipatti, whose daughter-in-law delivered a baby at Government Rajaji Hospital here on Sunday, alleged the hospital staff of swapped a baby boy with a girl.
She alleged that the staff initially informed them that it was a baby boy which was also shown to the mother. However, hospital authorities denied the allegations. They said the woman delivered only a baby girl, which was acknowledged by the mother who saw the baby soon after delivery. Scrutiny of records also confirmed it.
GRH Police said preliminary enquiries did not reveal any foul play. A police official said contradictory information was given by Ms. Pandiammal, who also reportedly claimed that a scan centre, prior to delivery, confirmed that it was a male baby. “However, she refused to divulge details of the scan centre,” he said.
