A judicial directive forced the filing, prompting a police probe into possible medical negligence.

Overview

  • The complaint alleges a half‑metre gauze was left inside the woman during a November 14, 2023 caesarean at a private Greater Noida hospital.
  • Doctors at Kailash Hospital removed the cloth during surgery on April 22, 2025 after detecting a lump following months of undiagnosed pain.
