Police say a breathalyser test has confirmed that the doctor was drunk.

A doctor from the western Indian state of Gujarat was arrested on Tuesday (Nov 27) for allegedly performing a caesarean delivery on a 22-year-old woman while drunk.

Local media reports say that the newborn girl was declared dead soon after the botched C-section and her mother died shortly after, prompting family members to accuse the doctor of negligence.

The woman, Ms Kamini Chanchi, was taken to the Sonawala Hospital in Botad district late on Monday night with labour pains.

Dr P. J. Lakhani, a senior doctor at the government-run hospital for 15 years, attended to her.

But later, family members were told that the baby had died while the mother was bleeding profusely.
