Maharashtra: A unique case has come to light from Shahpur in Thane district of Maharashtra. Here, the parents of a nine-year-old boy have alleged in their complaint to the police that the doctors of a government hospital performed surgery on their son’s private part instead of his injured leg. On the allegation of the victim’s parents, a health official has assured to investigate the matter. Police said that they are investigating the matter.
The minor’s parents said, “Last month, when the minor child was playing with his friends, he injured his leg.
