In Ghaziabad, a woman suffered for over a month due to a medical oversight during her C-section. A gauze, the size of a towel, was left inside her body, leading to severe pain and complications.

The issue was discovered after multiple medical tests when high fever persisted, prompting a surgery that finally removed the gauze. The woman's family accuses the involved gynaecologist of concealing the error.
