Suhani Bhatnagar was admitted to All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Delhi, on February 7 and died on February 16 after medical complications. “She developed a red spot on her hands about two months ago. We thought it was allergy and we consulted with doctors in different hospitals in Faridabad but it couldn’t be diagnosed. When her condition started deteriorating, we got her admitted to AIIMS. But there was no improvement and her lungs were damaged due to accumulation of excess fluid,” Suhani’s father, Sumit Bhatnagar, told reporters.
