Imphal, December 11 2008:
Twin death of mother and child during delivery at Mahirel Clinic and Research Centre, Khuman Lampak Stadium Road resulted in an uproar at about 6 pm today.
Police resorted to firing tear gas shells to control the mob.
The uproar was raised after one Wawala Raihing (25) w/o Sangchung of Sangshak Khullen, Ukhrul district who was admitted to the clinic for delivery this morning died together with the
baby.
However, hospital sources said that Wawala's child was dead before delivery and it was already getting decomposed.
The mother too died after the child was removed.
One doctor of the hospital reportedly offered Rs 5000 for travel fare of Wawala's family.
This infuriated the bereaved family members thinking that the doctor was putting a price on the lives of the deceased mother and baby.
Soon after a large crowd assembled at the clinic and raised an uproar.
In their effort to control the uproar, police fired tear gas shells.
