Mainpuri, January 29: A tragic incident at the Mainpuri district hospital has sparked outrage after a 60-year-old woman, Pravesh Kumari, died following a heart attack while reportedly receiving negligent care from a doctor on duty. The incident occurred on Tuesday when the woman was rushed to the emergency ward around noon. Her family claims that the doctor, Dr Adarsh Sanger, ignored her condition and continued to watch reels on his phone, instructing a nurse to handle the patient instead of personally attending to her. Despite repeated pleas for help, the doctor allegedly remained glued to his phone as the patient lay in emergency ward for 15 minutes. 

As Kumari’s condition worsened, her son Guru Sharan Singh raised his voice in protest, reported TOI. In a shocking turn of events, Dr. Sanger reportedly slapped Singh, escalating tensions in the hospital. CCTV footage has surfaced, showing the doctor seated and using his phone while nurses attend to the patient, and later, the doctor slapping the patient’s son. Unnao Boat Capsizes Over Reels Craze: Teenager Dies, 6 Others Rescued As Boat Flips in Lake While Making Social Media Reels In Uttar Pradesh.
