Pregnant Chatla Vanaja (21) of Shambhunigudem village of Gundala mandal of Bhadradri Kothagudem district started labor pain on June 13 (Sunday). The family took her to Gundala Government Hospital for delivery. Since there was no doctor available there, the staff nurse conducted a normal delivery. The condition of the newborn girl was not improving, so she was taken to Illendu Hospital, where doctors confirmed that she had died.

Vanaja also died on the way to Khammam due to excessive bleeding. Celebrating a simple death, the family performed the last rites of Vanaja and her daughter on the same evening (Monday). As part of the customs, family members and villagers who reached there on Thursday morning found scissors used in surgery from the woman’s bones. Doctors say that the delivery of the baby was normal and the woman died due to excessive bleeding.
