A ward boy of a private hospital was booked by the Chandannagar police at Vadgaonsheri for cheating after he posed as a doctor and handled the delivery procedure of a woman in advanced labour. The woman delivered a stillborn baby later on.

Although the ward boy has not been arrested yet, the police have decided to refer the case to an expert panel for fixing the responsibility of the authorities. Senior inspector Krishna Indalkar of the Chandannagar police told The Times Of India, "We will take action as per the medical board’s report."
