On Tuesday, the surgery was performed. However, upon returning home, the boy's mother noticed the disturbing oversight—Yudhisthir's right eye, rather than the affected left eye, had been operated on. Shocked and dismayed, the parents returned to the hospital to confront the doctor. According to local police, the family alleges that Dr. Verma and his staff responded with hostility.
Angered by the mishap, Yudhisthir's family created a ruckus at the hospital and filed a formal complaint with the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) of Gautam Buddha Nagar. Bhati has demanded that the doctor's license be revoked and the hospital be shut down to prevent similar cases of negligence.
An investigation has been launched, and the police have assured the family that appropriate action will be taken following the inquiry.
