The case of two newborns who died after being bitten by rats in the NICU of MY Hospital took another turn on Saturday. The parents of one of the deceased infants, who had been referred to MY Hospital from Dhar District, arrived in Indore with members of the tribal organisation Jai Adivasi Yuva Shakti (JAYS) to demand justice for their daughter.

Devram, the baby's father, said that he was kept in the dark about his child's death. "We were told by the staff to go home and that they would call us. For five days, no one informed us. We only came to know when a local leader came to our house. Now, we have come to take our baby and demand justice," he said.
