Meerut, January 15: In a shocking incident, KMC Hospital in Meerut has been accused of secretly removing a woman’s kidney during a surgery in 2017, leading to a formal complaint and an FIR against six doctors. Kavita Devi, a 43-year-old woman from Bulandshahr, alleges that the hospital staff not only performed an unauthorised procedure but also destroyed her medical records when she confronted them. The FIR, ordered by a local court, has sparked an ongoing investigation into the allegations.
According to a Times of India report, Kavita Devi had sought treatment at KMC Hospital in May 2017 for health issues related to her internal organs. Dr. Sunil Gupta, the hospital owner, recommended surgery to address these problems and assured her that the procedure would improve her health. However, after the surgery, Kavita was discharged with assurances that her kidneys were functioning properly, but her condition continued to worsen over the years.
