A newborn who was wrongly declared dead by a private hospital in Delhi has died due to “infection and other medical problems”, a family member said on Wednesday. A Delhi government probe panel had on Tuesday found the Max hospital guilty of negligence in declaring the child, a twin, dead. In his complaint to police, baby’s father Ashish Kumar, had said the boy had contracted an infection after being wrapped in a plastic bag by the Max Hospital. Ashish’s brother, Deepak Kumar,said doctors informed the family about the child’s death around 12:45pm even as he demanded action against Max Hospital. He told HT over phone: “We blame Max Hospital authorities as they wrapped the child in a packet after wrongly declaring him dead...We are currently outside the hospital protesting and we demand immediate action...”DCP (Northwest) Aslam Khan said security was stepped up outside Max Hospital.
