Ashok Nagar (Madhya Pradesh):
Promising action against those who had buried bones of children behind a hospital at Ratlam in Madhya Pradesh, Health Minister Ajay Vishnoi on Sunday said initial reports indicated foeticide or infanticide.
``It is not right to compare the Nithari incident, where bones of missing children aged between one and 14 years were found. Moreover, the Uttar Pradesh police were aware of their missing status,'' he told reporters after dedicating a hospital to the public here.
The bones and skulls recovered at the Ratlam Christian Hospital were of foetuses or very small children, he said, adding an in-depth probe could lead to a conclusion.
The hospital had registered for sonography tests and it was submitting quarterly reports of the machine within the stipulated time, Mr. Vishnoi said.
The police were probing the matter and all documents were being examined, he said. PTI
