On 20 April 2026, a disturbing incident at the Bagaha Sub-Divisional Hospital in Bagaha, Bihar came to light when a security guard was filmed stitching the wounds of injured patients inside the hospital’s minor operation theatre; the situation arose after multiple victims from a road accident on NH-727 were brought in at once, overwhelming the facility, and due to the absence and shortage of doctors and trained medical staff, the guard allegedly performed sutures, reportedly under informal supervision. After the video went viral with patients, locals started accusing the hospital of gross negligence and risking lives by allowing an unqualified person to carry out medical procedures. While hospital authorities later acknowledged the incident but defended it by citing severe staff shortages and emergency pressure, turning the case into a major example of systemic healthcare gaps rather than an isolated lapse. #bihar
