Sohna-Mohna were abandoned by their parents following their birth on June 14, 2003, at New Delhi’s Sucheta Kriplani Hospital. They were then sent to AIIMS, where physicians chose not to separate them since doing so may have resulted in the loss of one life as well as vascular and neurological damage to the lower limbs of the survivor.
The Pingalwara was contacted by the physicians at AIIMS, and the infants were taken in on August 15, 2003, and given the names Sohna-Mohna.
