The horrific incident took place in Maharashtra on Saturday at a multi-storeyed hospital in the Bhandara district of Maharashtra. Seventeen babies were admitted to the hospital.
According to the reports, 17 babies were admitted to the Special Newborn Care Unit (SNCU) of the hospital. When the fire broke out, 10 out of the 17 babies died, while seven babies were rescued.
