"Donors are reluctant to join the IVF investigation," Delhi police officials say amid ongoing probe

A couple walks into an IVF clinic to expand their family.

They walk out with twin girls.

And then… they look at the babies.

The features don't match. Not the mother. Not the father.

A quiet doubt becomes a private DNA test.

The DNA test becomes a nightmare.

Neither child shares a single strand of DNA with either parent.

Whose babies are these?


🧬 The Delhi case that has no easy answer

Meet Rahul Rathore, 41, and his wife Meenu.

Already parents to two daughters. Went to a fertility hospital in Greater Kailash, South Delhi. Wanted one more chapter to their family story.

What they got instead: an FIR, a forensic lab backlog, and a question no parent should ever have to ask.


⚖️ Two versions. Zero overlap.

The couple says:

  • 🚫 They never agreed to donor sperm or eggs
  • 📝 The consent form the hospital is waving around is forged
  • 🧪 Private DNA tests show zero biological link to the twins

The hospital says:

  • ✅ The couple was told their own gametes weren't viable
  • ✅ Donor material was used with consent
  • ✅ Paperwork exists. Signatures exist.

One of these stories is a lie.


🕵️ And now the probe is… stuck.

DNA was collected from the parents and twins back in April at AIIMS.

Two months later? Still no FSL report. Backlog, they say.

But here's the twist that's freezing the entire case 👇

Police tracked down two potential donors from hospital records.

Approached them over a month ago.

Neither has shown up.

And legally… they don't have to. Under India's ART Act, 2021, donors are entitled to anonymity.


🤯 The possibilities investigators are juggling

A senior officer laid them out. They're all unsettling:

  • 👶 The twins biologically belong to the Rathores (now looking unlikely)
  • 🔄 An embryo mix-up — another couple's embryo implanted by mistake
  • 🧫 Donor sperm + donor eggs were used → twins could be half-siblings, or not related to each other at all
  • 👥 Up to three or four different donors may have been involved

Five embryos were allegedly implanted during that window in May 2025.

Police are now combing through records of every other couple treated at the same hospital between May 10 and May 20, 2025.


💔 The part no one is talking about

Somewhere in Delhi, two little girls are being raised by people who love them.

And those parents are fighting a system to find out who their daughters actually are.

The science exists. The law exists. The babies exist.

What's missing is the truth.

And right now, it's locked inside two donors who simply… won't pick up the phone.

That's all for now!
