The situation grew even more devastating as the six-month-old fetus tragically succumbed to complications.
“On the night of June 6, she developed an infection that ultimately led to her demise. Tragically, both Sangeeta and her unborn baby could not survive the ordeal”, expressed a relative of the victim.
The relative further stated, “She initially responded positively to the treatment. Her condition seemed to improve until June 6, as evidenced by her body movements, indicating signs of recovery. However, her health suddenly deteriorated on Friday, and she passed away during the course of her treatment.”
Harinder Prasad has already surrendered to Tinsukia Police and has been sent to jail.
