The incident took place on Tuesday when the doctor developed severe labour pain and was rushed to Ranee’s Government Memorial Hospital. Although her family planned to admit her to a private hospital in Tiruchy, it failed as her condition was deteriorating over time.   

Following the severity of her condition, the doctors conducted a C-section on her and she delivered two twin boys. However, shortly she was experiencing shortness of breath and passed away. The medical team's effort to save her went in vain.   

A medical officer at the hospital on condition of anonymity informed TNIE that the doctor did not take better care of her health.

Joint Director of Medical and Rural Health Services S. Sripriya Thenmozhi told The Hindu, “Upon arrival at the hospital, the doctors promptly attended to her. Unfortunately, the patient had suffered from premature separation of the placenta with twin pregnancy. She passed away due to post-partum haemorrhage."

Meanwhile, the newborn twins also suffered breathing difficulties following which they were transferred to a private hospital in Tiruchy. Both the babies have been kept in an incubator.
