Kaushambi,

27 May (HS): Two brothers were detained on Tuesday for performing surgery on a

five-year-old kid while acting as physicians at a private hospital on Charwa

Manuri Road, police said. The youngster died during the procedure. On March 16,

Ram Asre, a Siriyawa Kala village resident, filed a complaint against Anmol

Hospital, stating that his son, Divyanshu, was handled irresponsibly in the

absence of a senior doctor, resulting in his death, according to Superintendent

of Police Rajesh Kumar.

A case

was then filed in the Charwa police station under Section 105 (penalty for

culpable homicide not amounting to murder) of the BNS. On May 25, police

detained Vikas Kumar (26) and Vishesh Kumar (25), both from Kaushambi district,

in connection with the minor's death. During interrogation, the suspects

revealed that they founded the Anmol Hospital in the name of their brother

Sanjay Kumar. Police said the brothers presented themselves as physicians

despite not having a medical degree. On March 16, Asre admitted his son for

treatment at Anmol Hospital. When the

surgeon scheduled to operate on Divyanshu's leg failed to arrive at the

hospital on time, the brothers took matters into their own hands. They then

operated on Divyanshu, removing an iron rod from his leg, and the boy died,

according to authorities. The same day, Divyanshu's parents filed a complaint,

which resulted in the registration of a case and the beginning of the police

investigation. After the event, the Kaushambi Chief Medical Officer shut the

private hospital in March.
