Family members of Krishna Kumar said they took him to Ganpati Seva Sadan in Bihar's Saran after he vomited several times.
A 15-year-old has died in Bihar's Saran after a fake doctor allegedly relied on YouTube videos and performed an operation to remove a stone from his gall bladder. As the teenager's situation deteriorated, the 'doctor' arranged an ambulance to rush him to a hospital in state capital Patna. The boy died on the way, and the 'doctor' and others with him abandoned the body at the hospital and fled the scene, the teenager's family members have said.
Family members of Krishna Kumar said they took him to Ganpati Hospital in Saran after he vomited several times. "We admitted him and the vomiting stopped soon after. But the doctor Ajit Kumar Puri said he needs to be operated upon. He conducted the operation by watching videos on YouTube. My son died later," Chandan Shaw.
The family members said they do not know if the 'doctor' had proper qualifications. "We think he was self-styled and fake," they said.
