In a shocking revelation at a medical college and hospital, two newborn babies were mistakenly swapped due to incorrect instructions given by a trainee nurse. Both sets of parents claimed that the boy in their care was their biological child, prompting the case to be taken to the police for resolution. As a result, a DNA test was conducted to determine the true parentage of the infants. After a fifteen-day wait, the original parents of the newborns were finally identified, bringing immense joy and tears of relief to both mothers.
The incident occurred on May 2 at the Government Medical College and Hospital, where two pregnant women were rushed to the operating room for seizure surgery after experiencing collapses. While the doctors successfully saved the lives of both mothers, confusion arose when the trainee nurse mistakenly handed over the babies to the wrong sets of parents. Although the medical officers rectified the error by returning the infants to their biological mothers, the parents remained unsatisfied with the situation.
Seeking a resolution, the dissatisfied parents filed a complaint at the District Peth Police Station, leading to a DNA test being conducted. Samples from both mothers and babies were collected and sent to a laboratory in Nashik. Finally, on Tuesday, the long-awaited DNA report arrived, resolving the dispute. In light of the prolonged distress endured by both mothers and babies, the hospital administration promptly handed over the infants to their rightful parents. The emotional moment was witnessed by the presence of police constable Narendra Diwekar, staff from the Zillapeth police station, and the hospital administration. Dr. Jitendra Ghumre, the In-charge Director and Head of the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, read out the DNA report, confirming that Suvarna Umesh Sonawane has a daughter, while Pratibha Praveen Bhil has a son. Overwhelmed with happiness, both mothers tearfully embraced their babies.
Both mothers had been admitted for delivery on the same day, and a misunderstanding occurred during the handover of the newborns. The parents’ demand for a DNA test was crucial in resolving the case. The subsequent report, received today, facilitated the immediate return of the infants to their biological mothers, bringing satisfaction to all parties involved. Dr. Jitendra Ghumre expressed his relief and contentment with the outcome.
Furthermore, another couple, harboring suspicions of a baby swapping incident, also demanded a DNA test. After receiving the test report today, the couple acknowledged that they had a baby girl and took her into their custody. Although both parents are currently happy, the unnecessary mix-up caused both newborns to be separated from their mothers for twenty days. However, in a heartwarming scene, the children, now reunited with their mothers, were observed peacefully resting in their arms, bringing an end to their distressful ordeal twenty days after the DNA report was released.
