However, after watching the video, CMS AP Mishra accepted the mistake and apologised for the same.

He said, "It may be possible the hospital staff took the patient for a morning walk and the patient went into labour. So, the staff were forced to deliver the baby at the hospital premises."

He also added that strict action will be taken against the concerned staff members.
