The burned leg developed an infection, prompting family members to take him to the hospital for treatment. After Dr. Lokesh examined the child, the child was declared dead. The family was also told that the child had died before reaching the hospital.
Former CM Kamal Nath tweeted
Former Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh Kamal Nath tweeted along with the picture of this incident – these pictures of Bargi of Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh are very heartbreaking. An innocent child was suffocated to death in its mother’s lap outside the health center. Because neither he could find any doctor nor he could get treatment.
