Parents and relatives created a ruckus on Thursday after two newborn babies died at the government-run Maharaja Tukojirao Hospital in Indore within 24 hours.

They alleged that the babies were given contaminated milk, a charge the hospital management denied.

"My daughter gave birth to a baby a few days ago. A nurse administered the baby milk orally after which it died," claimed Kamal Jatav, one of the protesters, while talking to reporters.

But Dr Sunil Arya, in-charge of the special newborn care unit, denied that contaminated milk was administered to any baby.

The condition of the two deceased infants was already critical, he said. One of them was five-day-old and another 17-day-old, he added. -- PTI
