Speaking to the Times of India, Karimganj DC Mridul Yadav said, "The report prepared by a team of doctors is now with the district joint director of health services. It will be forwarded to the directorate of health in Guwahati. The doctor reportedly did the C-section because the woman had an abortion earlier. It was believed to be a complicated pregnancy case."

As per reports, the doctor tried to suppress the matter and even asked the pregnant woman to not inform her family. However, the incident came to light when the woman's health deteriorated after she was discharged from the hospital. "We have received a report of such an incident. We are conducting an inquiry to ascertain the facts. Any action against the doctor or anyone else, if found to be erring, will be taken depending on the inquiry report," the hospital authorities said. Hyderabad Shocker: Psychologist Turns ‘Motivational Quotes’ Into Sex Chats With Girl Students, Arrested.
