This is a serious allegation. So far nearly 900 victims came forward. This demon Doctor is alleged have carried out questionable T-section surgeries. If anyone assume this doctor is innocent he/she is nuts! We do not have to prove 900 cases but even one case proven is sufficient to prosecute this doctor. There is another side of the allegation, what was the supporting staff doing when this doctor performing 7,000 surgeries. They didn’t observe anything? Or they were afraid to open their mouths? Or they were naive? In my opinion nurses assisting these surgeries too have a case to be answered.
