In a strange conclusion to the story of requested abortion of an ailing fetus, the mother had a miscarriage last week. At first, I was pretty suspicious and automatically assumed some sneakiness. But it turned out a doctor had even warned miscarriage could be a possibility.
When asked if it was a genuine case of a miscarriage, Mehta said, “Believe what you will.” The court had said that medical reports had not ruled out a normal life with medical aid for the baby when born. However, one of the paediatricians consulted had indicated that there could be intra-uterine death of the foetus or other complications.
Unless the GOI decides to investigate or press charges, I guess the issue is over.
