Compounder performs surgery with Doctor on video call, pregnant woman dies

However, the doctor was also unavailable at his clinic. In his absence, the compounder, without any medical knowledge or experience, allegedly conducted the surgery under the doctor’s remote supervision. Soon after, the woman died from the botched surgery. 

Following the woman’s death, her relatives stormed the clinic in protest. However, both the doctor and his staff reportedly fled the scene. As of now, the relatives of the deceased have not filed an official complaint against the doctor and staff, so an investigation could be launched into this matter. 

Commenting on the matter, District Magistrate (DM) Tushar Singhla told News 18, "An investigation would be conducted in the matter. So far, the victim’s family members have not commented officially. However, locals allege that the Teghra police played a role in suppressing the matter."  

While investigating the case, the Daily found through the locals that the doctor was involved in similar cases before, as they claim that this is not the first time such allegations have surfaced against the doctor's clinic.  

“If these allegations are true, it is a deeply disturbing case of medical negligence. Strict action must be taken against those responsible," a social activist told News 18.
