A video of an Ayurvedic practitioner from Bihar allegedly performing a Caesarean section under unsafe conditions and her nephew making an inappropriate remark while filming it has gone viral, sparking outrage online.

In the video shared by a user with the X handle ‘THE SKIN DOCTOR’, Kanchan Kumari, an Ayurvedic practitioner from Siwan, Bihar, is seen performing a C-section in a makeshift operating room. It shows a few people, including Kumari’s nephew, standing nearby in regular clothes with no apron or mask, while she operates without a mask and surgical cap.

    In the video, the nephew is seen saying, “She is my maami. Every time she performs a C-section, a boy is born. All her past four-five C-section surgeries led to birth of a male child."

    “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 post read.

    It further added: “She is Kanchan Kumari from Siwan, an Ayurvedic practitioner…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."

    The X user also shared a screenshot of Kumari’s Instagram handle, the bio of which reads, “gynelogist and obstetrics".

    ‘ARREST HER; WHY IS SHE STILL PRACTISING?’

    As the video went viral, netizens demanded strict action against her. “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," a user wrote.

      “Absolutely horrifying. This isn’t a clinic, it’s a crime scene in the name of healthcare. Arrest her," commented another. “Why is she still practising? She must be in jail," read another comment.

      “The reported actions of Kanchan Kumari, performing a C-section in an unsterile storage room without proper medical safeguards, are deeply alarming. If accurate, this reflects a serious breach of medical ethics and patient safety.. This demands immediate investigation and accountability under medical law to protect public health and trust," said another.
