"We came to know about the incident around 2.15pm. Locals called up a PCR and she was taken to Safdarjung Hospital. We reached there by 3pm but the doctors told us to go to AIIMS instead. AIIMS referred us to the trauma center, which again denied admission. It was already 5.30pm and I made another PCR call to complain that the doctors were not attending to the child. Police arrived after 20 minutes and spoke to the doctors at AIIMS for half an hour. She was declared dead around 6.30pm," he added.
