Woman dies as husband tries delivery baby at home using YouTube tutorial

 

In Tamil Nadu's Krishnagiri, a tragic incident unfolded when a 27-year-old woman named Loganayaki lost her life during childbirth. Her husband, Madhesh, took the unconventional route of attempting a natural home birth, drawing from the knowledge he had gained from a YouTube tutorial. 

Sadly, things took a grave turn as Loganayaki faced severe blood loss due to her husband's inadequate handling of the situation, specifically his failure to properly cut the umbilical cord.

The gravity of the situation prompted the Medical Officer at the local Primary Health Center, Rathika, to escalate the matter to the police. Loganayaki hailed from Puliampatti near Pochampalli. As her labor pains began, her husband, Madhesh, opted for a home birth. 

However, during the delivery process, it came to light that Madhesh's attempt to cut the umbilical cord accurately went awry, resulting in significant blood loss for Loganayaki.

In a bid to save her, she was swiftly transported to the Primary Health Center, but sadly, she arrived in an unconscious state and was pronounced dead upon reaching the facility. In response, the police initiated action by registering a case under Section 174 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC).
