UP Man Dies After Hemorrhoid Surgery by Unqualified 'Doctor' at Home
A 30-year-old man in Chandauli, Uttar Pradesh, died after a hemorrhoid operation by an unqualified person. Family demands justice and compensation.
A shocking case of medical negligence has come to light from the Chandauli district of Uttar Pradesh, where a 30-year-old man lost his life after undergoing a hemorrhoid operation at his residence. The surgery was allegedly performed by an individual who lacked the necessary medical qualifications and professional credentials, turning a routine procedure into a fatal tragedy.
The Fatal Procedure
The victim, identified as Islam, a resident of Hetampur village in the Dhanaapur area, sought treatment for hemorrhoids. Instead of visiting a certified hospital, the procedure was conducted right inside his home. According to the family, the person who performed the surgery—a resident of a village within the Mirza Pur gram panchayat—operated without any professional supervision or the basic medical infrastructure required for surgical interventions.
The lack of essential medical resources during the operation proved catastrophic. Just a few hours after the procedure was completed on October 17, 2026, Islam passed away, leaving his family in deep shock and grief.
Family's Fight for Justice
The victim's brother, Ishaaq Ali, has launched a campaign to ensure the perpetrator does not escape accountability. On November 2, 2026, Ali filed a formal complaint with the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) of Chandauli. In his complaint, Ali has demanded a rigorous and impartial investigation into several key areas:
- The actual educational and medical qualifications of the individual who performed the surgery.
- The specific medical procedure that was followed during the operation.
- The precise cause of Islam's death.
Beyond legal action, the family is seeking compensation of 500,000 rupees to support them after the loss of the victim.
Allegations of Administrative Apathy
Ishaaq Ali revealed that he has not limited his appeals to the health department. Complaints have been lodged with a wide array of authorities, including:
- The District Magistrate.
- The Superintendent of Police.
- The Sub-Divisional Magistrate of Sakaldiha.
- The Station House Officer of Dhanaapur.
- The Superintendent of the Dhanaapur Community Health Center.
Despite reaching out to these high-ranking officials, Ali alleges that no concrete action has been taken so far. He further claimed that there are ongoing attempts to settle the matter "amicably" through private negotiations rather than conducting a transparent legal investigation.
Rural Health Crisis
This incident has cast a harsh spotlight on the prevalence of illegal medical practices in rural Uttar Pradesh. The tragedy raises critical questions about how unqualified individuals are able to perform surgical procedures in residential areas and why the health department's oversight mechanisms failed to prevent such a risk.
As of now, the family continues to urge the government for a thorough inquiry to ensure that such a tragedy is not repeated. An official statement from the accused individual and the final report from the health department are still awaited.
