According to a report of the Uttar Pradesh Medical Council, two doctors of a private hospital have been charged with negligence that resulted in the death of a foetus in March. A Greater Noida-based couple, both software engineers, have approached the Sector 49 police station in March after the death of their yet-to-be-born at the Cloudnine Hospital in Sector 51.

An FIR was registered under Indian Penal Code Section 304 (causing death by negligence) and the doctor’s name as accused in the FIR.

Ankit Garg had alleged in his complaint to police that doctors Pratibha Singhal and Ritika Dinanath delayed in attending to his wife Shweta Kashyapwhile she was in labour and their "child expired due to medical negligence".

This matter was taken up by the Gautam Buddh Nagar chief medical officer and was then referred to the Meerut Medical Board before it reached the UP Medical Council. An investigation has been ordered in the case.

The report stated that Dr. PratibhaSinghal and Dr. Ritika Dinanath were found guilty of not fulfilling their medical responsibilities during an inquiry meeting of the UP Medical Council on July 25. Therefore, they are been warned to be responsible towards their medical commitments and has strictly alerted not to repeat such negligence in future. The report also said that the on-call doctor, Dinanath, should not be blamed for the death as she was the only doctor available at the hospital during this incident in March.

A duplicatecopy of the medical councils order has been sent to the district magistrate, the senior superintendent of police, the doctors of the hospital and the complainant. No official comment from Cloudnine Hospital on the order has been received so far.
