A 40-year-old man has accused the civic-run Khan Bahadur Bhabha Hospital of negligence after his eight-month pregnant wife, 35, died on Thursday morning. According to the husband, Vijay Pathak, the staff of the hospital, which is located at Kurla West, did not attend to his wife, Kiran, resulting in her death.

Civic body sources, however, claimed her haemoglobin was low and she was battling with a life-threatening ailment, which brought about her deterioration. The sources claimed the woman had been undergoing treatment for a condition at Sion hospital for two months.
