Taking note of the hapening,the principal of the medical college, Rajesh Kumar, had formed a three-member inquiry committee to probe the allegation.
The husband claimed that the committee has not taken his account yet.
The woman’s husband Manoj, a resident of Ramapur North under the Tilhar police station here, had alleged that his wife Neelam (in her 30s) had given birth to a baby girl on January 6 during which a piece of cloth was left in her stomach.
Manoj told the media that his wife died during treatment at the Lucknow trauma centre on Monday night.
Manoj said after the birth of their daughter, his wife used to complain of stomach pain.
With no relief from treatment by private doctors, he claimed that he got her admitted to a private medical college in Shahjahanpur during which a piece cloth was found in her stomach which was removed through an operation.
She was later admitted to Lucknow trauma centre after her condition did not improve, he said.
