Doctor arrested following maternal, infant deaths in UP

A 25-year-old woman named Asma Khatoon and her newborn died at a private hospital in Kushinagar, Uttar Pradesh, after what her family says was serious medical negligence. The family claims doctors demanded extra money and told them to arrange blood themselves. After surgery, they were assured everything was fine, but Khatoon's condition quickly got worse.

TL;DR

Hospital wasn't even registered

When the hospital suggested moving Khatoon to another city for treatment, her family grew suspicious. They say Dr. Mohammad Sayed misled them about her condition and tried to leave before police arrived. Authorities have now arrested Dr. Sayed for alleged negligence and shut down the hospital after finding it wasn't even registered. An investigation is still underway.
