A 31-year-old woman named T Jothi died along with her newborn baby during a home delivery at her mother's house in Arcot town, Ranipet district of Tamil Nadu. The incident occurred on Thursday, January 16. Jothi was married to Tamilselvan, 38, and this was her fourth pregnancy. She had chosen to give birth at her mother's home.
According to the TOI report, after Jothi's death, her mother, Valli, 65, attempted to hide the situation by placing the baby in a bag and taking Jothi's body to the Ranipet government general hospital. She claimed that Jothi had died at the hospital. However, hospital staff discovered that Jothi had delivered the baby before passing away due to complications related to the home birth.
