Commenting on the matter, a resident told Kashmir Observer, "Such negligence is unacceptable. A lifetime ban on the doctor’s private practice is the least that should be done."

As per the latest media report by Newsx, the actual surgery was intended to address an ENT issue. Assuring that a full investigation will be carried out, a Health Department official told the Daily, "We are treating this matter with the utmost seriousness. A full investigation will be carried out, and necessary legal action will follow."

However, allegations have also surfaced that the hospital authorities tried to cover up the botched surgery. In this regard, some of the locals have alleged that the hospital management allegedly attempted to hide the malpractice and claimed that certain Facebook influencers were even involved in trying to suppress the news.  

Commenting on this, an activist told the Daily, "This shows a serious lack of accountability, and it’s time to question the safety standards at private healthcare facilities."
