A pregnant woman, whose family failed to give Rs 12,000 in lieu of five units of blood, was turned away by a Uttar Pradesh government hospital here, after which she delivered the baby in a car which was taking her to another hospital.

Sangita Devi was refused admission when she had come to the district hospital along with mother-in-law Kiran Devi as the hospital doctors had allegedly asked for five unit blood or Rs 12,000.
