The family had alleged that lack of oxygen at the hospital was the cause of the death. This comes weeks after the Gorakhpur incident in which several children allegedly died for the want of oxygen. At around 8 pm, the parents reported no movement in the baby, and the baby died at 3:30 am despite resuscitation measures by the doctor on duty. This indicates suffocation,” said Dr Sangeeta Basu, medical superintendent of Rao Tula Ram hospital. The report also said that there was no shortage of oxygen at the hospital, as the family had suggested.
