Bihar Shocker: Quack Performs C-section with Video Call Guidance, clinic sealed

Rohtas: In a tragic incident that has sparked outrage across Bihar’s Karakat region, a 26-year-old pregnant woman died during a botched C-section surgery allegedly carried out by a quack with guidance from another doctor over a video call. The incident, which took place at a private clinic in Godari village, has since been sealed by authorities. 

It has been reported that the fake doctor without a degree and knowledge reportedly called another doctor and was taking step-by-step instructions on how to perform the surgery, which in turn led to the woman's death due to alleged medical negligence.   

The victim, a resident of Jayshree village, went into labour late on Sunday, July 6. Her family first took her to the Karakat Community Health Centre (CHC). Doctors there said her case was complicated and referred her to Sadar Hospital in Sasaram for advanced treatment.
