Mumbai, Aug 14 : Niketa Mehta, who had sought to abort her 25-week-old-foetus, which had a congenital heart problem, has suffered a miscarriage, her husband said.
Niketa was rushed to a hospital in suburban Mumbai after complaining of severe pain on Tuesday night, her husband Haresh Mehta confirmed.
He blamed the constant media pressure for his wife''s high blood pressure and increased stress level, and claimed that this had resulted in the miscarriage.
It may be recalled that the Bombay High Court had rejected Mehta’s plea to get her unborn baby aborted after medical reports stated that her child would be born with malpositioned arteries and would require a pacemaker soon after birth.
