A ball of cotton was removed from the vagina of the 20-year-old Nisha Rajbhar almost a month after the doctors at civic-run Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Hospital (CSMH) in Kalwa botched her delivery. Her family members have demanded compensation and a strict action against the 'negligent' doctors.

During a normal delivery at CSMH on April 25, Nisha was bleeding heavily and the doctors had used cotton and sanitary napkins to stop it. However, they forgot to remove them before stitching up the vagina, her husband Suraj Rajbhar had alleged. The woman found out that there was a piece of cotton inside her uterus and had caused infection only 20 days later.
