The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) administration declared in the general body meeting on Friday that the fire in baby Prince Rajbhar’s ventilator was an accident and that there was no negligence on part of the KEM Hospital where he is being treated. Citing the lack of a policy on compensation, it then tossed the ball in the Mayor's court on providing relief to the baby’s kin.

Mayor Vishwanath Mahadeshwar in turn said that he will decide on a policy in a group leaders’ meeting on November 20.
