Hyderabad: A 35-year-old pregnant woman died in Jangaon district of Telangana, allegedly following an illegal abortion after undergoing a prenatal sex determination test that revealed the foetus was female, police said on Tuesday.
The abortion was carried out at the residence of an auxiliary nurse midwife (ANM) in Jangaon on July 21, and the woman died in a state-run hospital here on July 25 after severe bleeding following the procedure.
Based on a complaint filed by the deceased woman's husband, a case was registered against four persons--the woman's mother, a registered medical practitioner (RMP), the ANM, and the owner of a scanning centre, a police official said.
The couple were residing here and had two daughters. After the woman became pregnant again, she went to Devuruppala mandal and her mother approached the RMP, who referred them to the scanning centre.
After the scan revealed that the foetus was female, the woman's mother allegedly decided for an abortion, and the procedure was performed at the ANM's house, the official said. The accused are absconding, and further investigation is on, police added.
