On way to perform the last rites of their newborn twins, the parents found out that there baby boy was alive only when they noticed a movement in the plastic bag that he was wrapped in.

A report in the Hindustan Times, quoted the maternal grandfather of the twins – Praveen Kumar– as saying that his daughter, Varsha, had been admitted to the Max Hospital in Shalimar Bagh on Tuesday afternoon and that on Thursday, “following a C-Section delivery around 7-30pm, she first delivered a baby boy and then a girl, 12 minutes later.”

The family was reportedly informed by doctors attending to the case that while the girl-child was stillborn, the baby boy was alive but in a critical condition and needed to be put on ventilator support. However, the doctors attending on the infant later told the family that the boy had passed away.

“When we were on our way for carrying out the last rites, we noticed movement in one of the packets. This was near Madhuban Chowk and we opened the packet we found the boy was breathing. He was taken to another hospital in Pitampura where he was admitted and is currently under treatment,” Praveen Kumar was quoted as saying to the Hindustan Times.

The family approached the police after burying the girl child.

The hospital has termed the horrific case as a “rare incident” and an inquiry has been ordered to ascertain the chain of events that led to the gross medical negligence.

“We are shaken and concerned at this rare incident… the concerned doctor has been asked to proceed on leave immediately. We are in constant touch with the parents and are providing all the needed support,” hospital authorities told mediapersons on Friday.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Meanwhile, the Delhi police is also investigating possible medical negligence by Max Hospital.

Luthra brothers

A court in Goa on Monday extended the police custody of Saurabh Luthra and Gaurav Luthra, the owners of the Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub, by five more days in connection with the deadly fire incident that claimed 25 lives on December 6.

The order was passed as investigators sought additional time to question the two accused in the case linked to the blaze at the Anjuna-based nightclub.

Owners were deported after fleeing abroad

According to details placed before the court, the Luthra brothers had left the country following the incident and travelled to Thailand. They were subsequently deported and brought back to India on December 17, after which they were taken into police custody.

Advocate Vishnu Joshi, representing the families of the victims, confirmed that the court granted a five-day extension of police custody for both Saurabh and Gaurav Luthra.

Another co-owner sent to judicial custody

The court also remanded Ajay Gupta, another owner of the nightclub, to judicial custody. Police did not seek an extension of his custody, following which the court passed the order, the victims’ counsel said.

The Anjuna police have registered a case against the Luthra brothers for culpable homicide not amounting to murder along with other relevant offences related to the fire incident.

Delhi High Court issues notice to Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi in National Herald case

Delhi High Court has sought responses from Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi on the ED’s plea challenging a trial court order in the National Herald case.

The Delhi High Court has sought responses from Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi on a petition filed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with the National Herald case. The petition challenges a trial court order that refused to take cognisance of the agency’s prosecution complaint.

Justice Ravinder Dudeja issued notices to the Gandhis and other accused on the main petition, as well as on the ED’s application seeking a stay on the trial court’s December 16 order. The high court has listed the matter for further hearing on March 12, 2026.

The trial court had ruled that taking cognisance of the ED’s complaint was “impermissible in law” because the investigation was not based on a registered First Information Report (FIR). It observed that the prosecution complaint under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) was not maintainable in the absence of an FIR for a scheduled offence.

According to the order, the ED’s probe originated from a private complaint rather than an FIR. The court further noted that since cognisance was declined on a legal question, it was not necessary to examine the merits of the allegations at that stage.

The trial court also referred to the complaint filed by BJP leader Subramanian Swamy and the summoning order issued in 2014, stating that despite these developments, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) did not register an FIR in relation to the alleged scheduled offence.

The ED has accused Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, late Congress leaders Motilal Vora and Oscar Fernandes, Suman Dubey, Sam Pitroda, and a private company, Young Indian, of conspiracy and money laundering. The agency has alleged that properties worth around Rs 2,000 crore belonging to Associated Journals Limited (AJL), which publishes the National Herald newspaper, were acquired through Young Indian.

The agency further claimed that Sonia and Rahul Gandhi held a majority 76 per cent shareholding in Young Indian, which allegedly took over AJL’s assets in exchange for a Rs 90 crore loan.
