Viral Video: Outrage as Ayurvedic Practitioner Allegedly Performs Unsafe C-Section

GG News Bureau
Patna, 11th June: A shocking video showing an Ayurvedic practitioner in Bihar allegedly performing a caesarean section under highly unsafe and unhygienic conditions has sparked widespread outrage online.

The clip, shared on X (formerly Twitter) by user ‘THE SKIN DOCTOR’, shows Kanchan Kumari, an Ayurvedic practitioner from Siwan, Bihar, conducting a C-section. The scene appears to be a makeshift operating room with no basic hygiene. The video also captures several people, including Kumari’s relative, standing by in regular clothes while she operates without a mask, surgical cap, or sterilized equipment.

The X user who posted the video condemned the incident, writing: “A ‘gynaecologist’ who can’t even spell the word correctly is performing a C-section in what looks like a storage room, with zero infection control. Her family member is casually filming a reel while the surgery is underway. She is not wearing a mask and surgical cap. The room is crowded with people in regular clothes… watching the procedure like it’s a live show, without scrubs, masks, or gloves. Probably no anaesthetist either.”

The user identified Kumari as an Ayurvedic practitioner, adding, “Given how frequently the govt changes healthcare policies, I’m not sure whether she’s qualified or trained to perform this procedure, but judging by her methods, she is certainly liable for criminal negligence.” A screenshot of Kumari’s Instagram bio, which reads “gynecologist and obstetrics,” was also shared.

Public Demands Action
The disturbing video has triggered massive condemnation, with many users demanding immediate action. Comments poured in: “Why is she still practising? She must be in jail for harming patients and the unborn child,” and “Absolutely horrifying. This isn’t a clinic, it’s a crime scene in the name of healthcare. Arrest her.” Another user remarked, “It feels like they’re partying and cooking in the kitchen. It’s criminal conduct by the doctor and the patient’s family.”

Many highlighted the severe breach of medical ethics. One comment stated: “This situation is deeply alarming and highlights a severe breach of medical ethics and safety standards. Performing a C-section without proper sterilization, PPE, and in an inappropriate setting endangers the patient’s life… Strict legal action must be taken immediately to protect patients and uphold healthcare integrity.” Another user emphasized, “This demands immediate investigation and accountability under medical law to protect public health and trust.”
