The teenager died in the early hours of Tuesday morning at AIIMS Delhi. Her name is Tanvi Pariyani, and she is 15 years old, suffering from a congenital heart problem, which could have been corrected through surgery. This happened two weeks after the family’s ordeal was reported in the media following a 13-year struggle for the treatment to save her life.

Calls for inquiry : Suspecting foul play and institutional negligence, the family has demanded an independent, transparent investigation into the exact clinical decisions that led to the teenager’s death. Changing diagnosis : Even as hospital officials maintained that corrective surgery was out of the question in 2018 due to the absence of pulmonary arteries, the family denied ever getting a timely explanation for delays.
