“Miracle baby” Falak loses battle for life
NEW DELHI:: Two year
old battered baby girl Falak
has lost her battle for life,
succumbing to an “unexpected”
cardiac arrest, doctors
at AIIMS said Thursday.
“It was unexpected. She
was fi t to be discharged. All
of a sudden, she had a cardiac
arrest at nine and we
tried to revive her. But then
she gave up at around 9.40
PM,” said Deepak Agrawal,
Assistant Professor of
Neurosurgery at the AIIMS
Trauma Centre.
Baby Falak was brought
to AIIMS on January 18 in a
severely battered state by a
girl who falsely claimed to
be her mother. With head injuries
and human bite marks
all over her body along with
a broken arm and cheeks
branded with hot iron, she
was hospitalised in AIIMS
trauma centre.
During the entire course
of treatment spanning 58
days, Baby Falak displayed
immense courage bearing
all the harsh medical surgeries,
earning the sobriquet
of “miracle baby”. She was
fi ghting with blood, chest
and brain infections for
which she underwent six
surgeries and was also put
on ventilator. Earlier, she
also suffered two heart attacks.
“She suffered from meningitis
for a long time. She
was also on the ventilator
and we had to conduct a
tracheotomy. But she had
survived all this and had
recovered well,” said Dr
Deepak Agarwal, who had
been watching Falak since
the very fi rst day. Baby
Falak’s post-mortem would
be conducted tomorrow as
it is a medico-legal case, the
doctor said.
Baby Falak’s case turned
out to be an intensely intriguing
one with many
people involved who were
victims themselves. Investigations
revealed the shocking
story of Falak, her two
siblings and their mother
who were all separated after
falling victim to human traffi
ckers.
Falak’s mother Munni was
tricked into a second marriage
by three women out
of whom two -- Laxmi and
Kanta Choudhry -- were arrested.
The trio had promised
that her three children
will be taken care of but they
were left to different people.
Ten people were also arrested
in the case. Police traced
down Falak’s fi ve-year-old
brother from the house of a
vendor in West Delhi’s Uttam
Nagar locality while her
sister Sanobar was traced by
Delhi Police to Muzaffarpur
in Bihar.
On Februray 15, Falak
was reunited with her
22-year-old mother Munni
who met her in the hospital.
Unexpected
What is most shocking is
that of late, the doctors had
been giving positive feedbacks
on Falak’s health as
she was doing well and was
about to be discharged soon.
She had been removed from
the ICU and shifted to the
ward.
“The whole day she used
to spend time playing with
the nurses at the hospital.
She was responding so well
to the treatment and had her
condition had become good
that we had even decided
to discharge her from the
hospital this week. All of a
sudden she had a cardiac arrest,”
said Dr Agarwal.
The ‘miracle baby’ as she
had come to be known affectionately,
had made a place
in people’s hearts who kept
on praying for her. Besides
Indians across the world,
people from other countries,
like US and Canada also
wanted to adopt her.
But doctors say that even
if she would have survived,
she could only live in a vegetative
state because of the
large extent to which her
brain was damaged.
