The family members of the patient have accused a doctor of operating on him without their consent.

On March 16, when Singh visited the hospital, the doctor admitted him to his Ashoka Hospital and operated on him without the consent of the family members, Kavita alleged in her complaint to the police.
When Singh’s condition deteriorated, the doctor gave him injections and asked him to leave the hospital, but the family members opposed it. The accused then called an ambulance and referred the patient to a Bareilly hospital, where he has operated on again at the Medicity Nursing Home and three blood-stained clothes were found inside his stomach. The doctors at Medicity confirmed that three pieces of clothes were found inside Singh’s stomach.
