Newborn dies as nurse refuses treatment without INR5,100 tip

In a heartbreaking incident, a newborn in India has lost his life due to a nurse's outrageous demand for a tip, local media reported on Friday.

A woman, named Sanjali, gave birth to a son at a local hospital, but the joyous occasion turned into a tragedy.

According to media reports, nurse Jyoti Bhaduria allegedly demanded INR5,100 as a tip from the family. 

When they failed to pay, the nurse abandoned the newborn on the labour room table, refusing to hand over the child until payment was made.

The baby's father borrowed money from his brother and paid the nurse. However, the 40-minute delay proved fatal. 

The newborn's condition deteriorated, and despite being transferred to another hospital, the child succumbed to death.

The family has filed a complaint with the police, alleging inhumane behaviour by the hospital and the nurse. 

Taking swift action, a medical team was formed to investigate, and the suspect nurse was immediately dismissed from her post.
