child on the same day. The patient was treated by Dr. Manirul Haque & Dr. Swapna Haque. Later the lady & her father fled from the nursing home leaving the child to face her destiny. The stranded child was then allegedly sold off to one Banda Pal by two ayas of the nursing home. Although one of the duo, Gouri was not available for comments, the other Chapala informed bardhaman.com, "I gave away the child to a lady for humanity." She added, "if I didn't gave her up, she would have died in absence of a much needed mother." Chapala denied any financial transaction associated with the deal, but Bandana confirmed, "I paid both of them Rs. 1000 out of my wish."

The gynecologist, Dr. Swapna Haque when contacted informed, "we were summoned by the nursing home to attend a patient with labour pains. We conducted a normal delivery as the lady gave birth to a normal girl child weighing 2kgs." She also informed, "we are not police & cannot determine whether the patient is married or not. As a medical practitioner, we are bound to treat a patient in such conditions." She informed that, both the baby & the mother was discharged by her from the nursing home yesterday `in sound condition'. She also explained that, abortion of any one with pregnancy upto 20 weeks is legal as per the country's law. Although the doctor justifies her actions, the illegal practices of the doctor-nursing home nexus are being discussed among everyone in the Khoshbagan area.

The district police super, Niraj Kumar Singh confirmed that, Bandana Pal have received the baby from the nursing home without any valid documentation. He also informed that a permission from the S.D.O is necessary for this purpose. A probe have been ordered in the matter.
