AGRA: The 30-year-old wife of a Railway Protection Force (RPF) jawan, who had gone for an abortion procedure, was allegedly sterilised without her consent at a railway hospital in Agra. Her husband, Yogesh Baghel, filed a police complaint on Sunday and the Agra division railway administration constituted a three-member committee to investigate the matter.
Baghel, a resident of Mustafa quarter who is posted at the Agra Cantt railway station, said that his wife, Nirmala Baghel, was three months pregnant and was getting regular check-ups at a private hospital. On the basis of an ultrasound, doctors said that the child did not have a heartbeat and advised abortion. He then took his wife to the railway hospital, where doctors made the same observation.
