Parents refuse to accept baby girl till after DNA test

CNN-IBN

Madhya Pradesh: An innocent life has been caught in gender crossfire. It took two months for a two-month-old baby girl in Madhya Pradesh to be accepted by her parents.

The baby was disowned by her own parents at birth. They had abandoned the baby at the Khandwa hospital, alleging that the administration swapped her for a male child born on the same day.

Finally the matter was resolved after a DNA test, following which a legal notice was issued compelling the parents to finally accept the child.

The hospital has now decided to slap a case against the parents for tarnishing their name.

The mother of the baby was allegedly forced by her mother-in-law to dispose off the girl. She now claims it's the hospital's fault.

"I was misled by the nurse who said I had given birth to a boy. I even gave her Rs 250," says Kirti, the girl's mother.
