Amethi, March 1, 2025 – A doctor at Sanjay Gandhi Hospital has been booked for alleged medical negligence following accusations of performing surgery while intoxicated, which reportedly led to the death of a patient. The hospital authorities have denied the allegations, and an official inquiry has been launched.
According to the Amethi police, an FIR has been registered against the doctor based on a complaint filed by the deceased patient’s family.
