Almost two days after the death of a 28-year-old woman due to the collapse of a lift in a private hospital in Meerut, the district administration has formed a three-member committee to investigate the incident.
This incident happened after the wife of a nursing attendant working in the Indian Army gave birth to a child.
“We have ordered the CMO to form a committee to probe the matter at Capital Hospital,” Meerut District Magistrate Deepak Meena said. He said that the panel will look at the NOC and check whether the hospital has been repaired on time. The DM said the CMO will find out whether the hospital, registered, was in violation of any other rules.

Karishma Mavi, who was admitted to Capital Hospital for the delivery of her second child on Thursday, is deceased. Half an hour after delivery, the baby was transferred to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). While moving Karishma to the ground floor, the lift fell on Karishma’s body and hit her chest. As there was no lift operator nearby, the family went to the nearest hospital and looked for a lift operator, but by then Karishma had died.
“This was our second child. I returned from Kashmir three days ago, her delivery was scheduled for December 5,” said Karisma’s husband Ankush Mavi, 32.
“Two attendants carried him into the elevator on a stretcher to take him to the ground floor. I was standing outside waiting for the nurse. Within seconds, the steel gate collapsed. She was breathing and responding for about 15 minutes. She could have been saved,’ Karishma’s brother Hariom, 26, alleged.
An FIR was registered with the Meerut police under Section 105 (culpable homicide) of the Indian Penal Code against the hospital administration.
