New Delhi: An Ayurvedic practitioner allegedly performed a caesarean section in unsafe conditions in Bihar. The video of the operation went viral and has now sparked public outcry on social media platform.
A user who goes by name ‘THE SKIN DOCTOR’ shared the video on X. In the clip, one can see Kanchan Kumari, an Ayurvedic practitioner from Siwan, carrying out a C-section. The surgery is apparently conducted in a makeshift operating room, and basic hygiene protocols are flouted.
The video also shows several persons, including a relative of Kumari, standing nearby in regular clothing, as she performs the operation without a mask, surgical cap, or sterilized device.
The X user wrote: “A ‘gynaecologist’ who can’t even spell the word correctly is performing a C-section in what looks like a storage room, with zero infection control. Her family member is casually filming a reel while the surgery is underway. She is not wearing a mask and surgical cap. The room is crowded with people in regular clothes, including the patient’s relatives, who are standing around and watching the procedure like it’s a live show, without scrubs, masks, or gloves. Probably no anaesthetist either.”
The user also disclosed the practitioner’s identity. “She is Kanchan Kumari from Siwan, an Ayurvedic practitioner. Given how frequently the govt changes healthcare policies, I’m not sure whether she’s qualified or trained to perform this procedure, but judging by her methods, she is certainly liable for criminal negligence,” he posted.
Apart from this, the user also shared a screenshot of Kumari’s Instagram profile, which mentions that she is a “gynaecologist and obstetrics”.

‘She must be in jail’
The video has gone viral, with many social media users calling for action against the practitioner. A user wrote: “Why is she still practising ? she must be in jail for harming patients and the unborn child.” Another remarked: “Absolutely horrifying. This isn’t a clinic, it’s a crime scene in the name of healthcare. Arrest her.”
“It feels like they’re partying and cooking in the kitchen. It’s criminal conduct by the doctor and the patient’s family,” said a third one.
Another user hit out, stating: “This situation is deeply alarming and highlights a severe breach of medical ethics and safety standards. Performing a C-section without proper sterilization, PPE, and in an inappropriate setting endangers the patient’s life. Filming during surgery shows blatant disrespect and irresponsibility. If Kanchan Kumari lacks proper qualifications and is practicing such negligent behavior, strict legal action must be taken immediately to protect patients and uphold healthcare integrity.”
