Jodhpur: Ten-day-old Mehak has just come home to a house that is mourning her mother's death. Her mother Ruksana died a week after giving birth to her without seeing her even once. Even the thirty bottles of blood that the family paid for, with great difficulty, couldn't save her. 
 
Ruksana is just one of the twelve pregnant women who died in a span of ten days after being given contaminated IV fluid at Jodhpur's Umaid hospital. Mehak's grandmother who saw it all is shaken. 
 
Five other women who were also given the same batch of IV fluid are still critical. Four of the twelve women who died, lost their babies as well. 
 
Ironically this is not the first time Umaid hospital has been in the news. Last year, the hospital had come under the scanner for transfusing HIV infected blood to thallesemia patients. 
 
 
Mehak's relative Mohammad said, "The health minister came here three-four days back and said the women were ill, now they're saying it was contaminated IV fluid, but why only at Umaid hospital?" 
 
Shockingly the hospital authorities say most of the deaths were due to the women's deteriorating health. 
 
Hospital superintendent and head of the probe committee Narendra Chhangani says, "The committee has gone in depth to find out the causes and is still trying. Probably, few of them had a natural course of illness." 
 
The Rajasthan government, meanwhile, has held a drug company in Indore, responsible for supplying the IV fluid. A case has been registered against them. 
 
The question the families of the women who've lost their lives, those who're critical and the people of Jodhpur are now asking is what about the responsibility of the hospital?
