Devdas and Jasmine Naik, the couple whose baby was stolen from the Nowrosjee Wadia Maternity hospital on October 24, are still struggling to come to terms with the shocking loss of their child. Relatives of the couple believe that Jasmine and Devdas are both in urgent need of psychiatric counselling to help them survive the psychological trauma. While Jasmine’s medical records state that she and her relatives have undergone counselling, the family alleges that the notification is nothing but a few words on paper. The ‘counselling’ session, they claim, was a mere formality, and had no real impact on the grieving mother.
