Noida (Uttar Pradesh): A woman died allegedly due to “gross negligence” in treatment at a hospital in Greater Noida run by a “doctor” whose MBBS degree was found to be fake, police said on Friday. The fake doctor, Priya Ranjan Thakur, has been arrested and an FIR was lodged against him at the Bisrakh Police Station, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central Noida) Rajesh S said.
According to officials, the woman, a resident of Indirapuram in Ghaziabad, had visited the IVF Creation World Centre, run by Thakur, in Eco Village 2 in the Bisrakh area on August 19. She had been visiting the centre for two months for the In-Vitro Feritilisation (IVF) procedure, a technology-assisted method for pregnancy, the officials said.
The woman fell ill during the procedure and her condition worsened due to lack of emergency support in the centre to such extent that she slipped into a coma and had to be taken to another hospital, they said. “She fell ill during the IVF treatment on August 19 and had to be admitted to another hospital where she died on August 26. Thakur, the owner of the IVF centre, was arrested in connection with the death,” DCP Rajesh said.
