Key Questions Answered
Samiksha tragically died along with her unborn child because her in-laws refused to pay for a necessary C-section and subjected her to constant harassment over a demand for 2 tolas of gold.
Examinations revealed that Samiksha had an extremely low amount of amniotic fluid and that the umbilical cord was wrapped around the baby's neck, prompting doctors to immediately advise a C-section.
Following a complaint filed by Samiksha's father at the Pachod Police Station, an FIR was registered on September 29 under sections 85, 106(1), and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) 2023 against her husband, father-in-law, mother-in-law, and sister-in-law.
