A woman admitted to a government hospital for delivery developed serious complications following a cesarean section (LSCS) and later died due to acute kidney injury. Her husband alleged that the surgical team caused the injury during delivery and failed to manage her condition properly.
According to the complaint, the patient was admitted with labour pains and was operated upon within an hour of arrival. The family claimed doctors demanded money, obtained signatures on blank papers, and concealed the fact that her condition deteriorated after surgery. She was later referred to a higher centre, but despite further treatment at multiple hospitals, she passed away a month later.
