Approximately two hours after the surgery, doctors informed the woman’s family that there had been complications during the procedure.

Subsequently, the woman was transferred to Dharmapuri Medical College Hospital for additional treatment, where she was informed by doctors that her twin male babies had died.
The woman who had been under sedation regained consciousness later in the evening. Upon regaining awareness, she reportedly told her family that she believed the medication administered by the private hospital could have contributed to the death of her babies.
