BAREILLY: The 22-year-old woman whose husband was arrested for “love jihad” under UP’s new anti-conversion laws while being sent to a shelter had a miscarriage confirmed an ultrasound examination in a private laboratory.
The couple were “reported” to the police by a local unit from Bajrang Dal as they went to search their nikah. Her husband and brother-in-law, imprisoned for 13 days, will be released after police found no evidence to support the accusation that the woman had been forcibly converted.
TOI had reported Tuesday that the woman said she had miscarried. “We discovered that the woman had a miscarriage. There is an infection in her uterus, which must be treated to avoid further complications, ”Dr. PS Sisodia, who performed her ultrasound at the private registered laboratory in Dhampur in the Bijnor district, told TOI on Friday. The report, a copy of which is in TOI, found “bulky UT with endometriosis (tissue that grows outside the uterus) and … blood clots in UT.”
The woman had alleged that she lost her baby after the district hospital, where she had been admitted with bleeding and severe abdominal pain, administered “injections”. As of Friday, the hospital had refused to comment on the miscarriage and denied its accusation.
After the results of the private laboratory came to light, the acting chief medical superintendent of the Moradabad district hospital, Dr. Nirmala Pathak, told TOI: “The reports provided by the ultrasonologist Dr. RP Mishra clearly indicated that the fetus was visible but the heartbeat was not there. ” Dr. Mishra told TOI: “We had doubts about the baby when the first ultrasound was done. Heartbeat not found. For the second test we used a Doppler ultrasound but the heartbeat could not be found either. To confirm, I had asked for a trans vaginal examination because sometimes there is a chance that the baby will survive. ”
The woman, taken to the hospital on December 11 and then again on December 13 from the shelter, had not received her medical file when she was released on the grounds that it was a “medico-legal” case. However, police said Friday they do not need the medical report.
Back with her in-laws in Kanth, the woman was still unsure how to receive news that her husband was about to be released. “I have been told for the last five days that he will be released. It hasn’t come out yet. I haven’t been able to talk to him even after losing my baby, ”she told TOI. “We love each other. What good are court-registered marriages if things like this happen to people in love?
Her husband had not been released at the time of the report. A Moradabad prison official, on condition of anonymity, said the release order, ‘parwana’, had not reached them until Friday night. The police filed a report in district court under Section 169 of the CrPC (Defendant’s Release When Evidence Is Deficient) and requested the release of her husband and brother-in-law. “The court ordered her release on personal bonds of Rs 50,000 each,” Moradabad ASP (rural) Vidya Sagar Mishra he said Friday.
The chairman of the UP State Commission for the Protection of Children’s Rights, Dr. Vishesh Gupta, who had previously said the fetus was alive, was not available for comment. The woman had said that she was “tortured” in the shelter to which she had been sent when her husband and brother-in-law were arrested. Her arrest, said district probation officer Rajesh Gupta, was only in accordance with instructions for legal proceedings: “We had kept her in the shelter following the instructions of the Kanth subdivision magistrate that she be kept here. until your statement is recorded … the hospital is out of our jurisdiction. ”
