According to her husband Govind Kumar, Sunita, 27, had visited the hospital on Thursday, and was made to wait for the check-up for over two hours, which led to abdominal pain.
When she went to the toilet, the foetus was lost there, Kumar said.
"After she had complained about abdominal pain, my mother and I advised her to go to toilet. She came out of the dark toilet bleeding," he added.
Sunita was so scared about the bleeding that she did not realise her foetus was lost in the toilet. It was later found by one of the employees, who informed the hospital administration.
The hospital's Principal Medical Officer Pradeep Sharma confirmed the incident. "When we learnt about the incident we looked for the woman and admitted her in the gynaecology ward to avoid any infection," he said.
"It is hard to believe that woman delivered the foetus in toilet and she did not know about it," the officer added.
