In their statement to the Pen police, the two doctors, Dr Usha Malgaonkar (61), who runs Sita Mai maternity hospital, in Pen and Dr Pramodini Paranjape (55), said, "We had no option, but to kill the baby, who we shall call Baby X, otherwise the 15-year-old unwed mother would have killed the baby." On December 3, the Pen police arrested the duo.

On December 2, a pregnant woman admitted at Sita Mai hospital told her husband about a 15-year-old lying in the adjacent bed weeping inconsolably for over two days.
