National Times Bureau :- A major controversy has erupted in Mohali after a dispute arose regarding the identity of a newborn delivered at a local hospital. The case has not only shocked the family involved but has also raised serious concerns about hospital management and the protocols followed during childbirth.
According to reports, the family alleged that there was confusion over the parentage of the child soon after delivery. Suspecting foul play or negligence, they demanded a thorough investigation into the matter. The hospital authorities, while denying any wrongdoing, agreed that a DNA test would be the most appropriate method to establish the biological parentage of the baby and put an end to speculation.
Health department officials have also taken note of the incident, as the matter has sparked widespread debate about the accountability of private healthcare institutions in Punjab. The authorities emphasized that any lapse in medical procedure or documentation will not be tolerated and strict action will be taken if negligence is proven.
The DNA test, which has already been ordered, is expected to provide clarity in the coming days. Until the results are out, the family continues to remain distressed, demanding both answers and accountability.
This incident has once again highlighted the urgent need for strict monitoring of private hospitals, transparency in medical procedures, and stronger mechanisms to safeguard patients’ rights during critical events such as childbirth.
