Teenager in Bihar dies after ‘doctor’ performs surgery watching Youtube

A 15-year-old boy tragically died following a failed gallbladder stone removal surgery conducted by a fraudulent physician in Saran district, Bihar.

The doctor, identified as Ajit Kumar Puri, who reportedly used YouTube tutorials to perform the procedure, is currently at large.

The teenager, admitted to Puri's clinic in Madhaura on Friday night due to vomiting and stomach pain, was operated on without his family's knowledge or consent. Alarmingly, the family alleges that Puri was performing the surgery while watching YouTube videos on his mobile phone.

As the boy's condition worsened during the operation, the family expressed concern. Puri reportedly responded dismissively, "Am I the doctor here or you?"

Despite the worsening condition, Puri ultimately chose to take the boy to a hospital in Patna. Unfortunately, the teenager died en route. Puri then fled, abandoning the boy's body.

The family has filed a police complaint against Puri, accusing him of negligence, malpractice, and operating without proper qualifications or experience. They assert that his actions directly led to the teenager's untimely death.

A case has been registered against the fake doctor and his clinic staff. Local police are conducting raids to apprehend the accused. The boy's body has been sent for a post-mortem examination.
