Over a month after the death of 26-year-old Yuma Sherpa following an egg donation procedure at New Life India Fertility Clinic in Lajpat Nagar, her husband approached a district court in Saket, seeking its intervention to get an FIR registered on his complaint of medical negligence.
In the first hearing on March 7, the court directed police to submit an Action Taken Report (ATR) on the case on March 31.
“… Sherpa’s husband Sanju Rana, who had filed a complaint alleging medical negligence with the Delhi Medical Council (DMC) in February, said he was forced to approach the court after ‘indefinite delays’ in the case,” Metropolitan Magistrate Neha said in her order.

“It’s been over a month and we do not even have the conclusive post-mortem report of my wife. I keep going to police for copies of the initial report. I have tried to get her medical records from the New Life India Fertility Clinic or police, who have copies of the treatment documents. I’m running from the hospital to police to the medical council, everybody just says I should wait for the viscera report, which will take at least another month. Even the DMC has not taken any action on my complaint,” Rana said.
On January 29, Sherpa, the mother of a three-year-old, had what doctors said looked like a massive heart attack after an egg donation procedure at New Life India Fertility Clinic. She was declared dead the same night at a South Extension hospital, where the clinic had referred her.
Rana said he had submitted two applications to the DCP of the area on February 14, requesting that an FIR be filed and that the viscera report be expedited, but he was yet to hear from police.
Newsline had reported that an initial post-mortem report submitted by a three-member board at AIIMS found hypertrophy in the ovaries, an enlarged uterus of about 120 grams, and haematoma in the utero-vesical pouch in the peritoneal cavity or abdomen. Doctors had kept the cause of death “pending till the availability of viscera and histopathology reports from CFSL”.
The medical director of New Life India Fertility Clinic had earlier denied irregularities in the case.
