Kushinagar, Uttar Pradesh, August 15, 2025 – In a disturbing case that’s shaking up the local community, a farmer from Kushinagar district claims his kidney was taken out without his knowledge during what was supposed to be a simple operation to remove a kidney stone. The incident happened at New Life Care Hospital in Kotwa, under the Nebuwa Naurangia police station area, and has led to a police investigation into possible medical fraud and negligence.
Alauddin, a 35-year-old resident of Rampur Khurd village, went to the hospital on April 14 after suffering from severe stomach pain. He told doctors about his discomfort, and they diagnosed him with a 17mm kidney stone. The hospital operators, Imamuddin and Tar Mohammad, advised immediate surgery and admitted him right away. Alauddin, looking for affordable treatment as a daily wage farmer, agreed to the procedure thinking it would fix his problem quickly.
But things took a dark turn after the operation. A few days later, Alauddin started feeling worse, he had blood in his urine, constant weakness, and more pain. The hospital staff referred him to PGI in Lucknow for further checks. There, scans revealed the shocking truth, his left kidney was completely missing. “I went in for a stone removal, but they took my kidney instead,” Alauddin later shared in his complaint, expressing his horror and betrayal.
Family members say Alauddin is now struggling with health issues and can’t work like before. His wife mentioned they had to sell some household items to cover the initial costs, and now they’re dealing with even bigger medical bills. The family believes this was no accident but a deliberate act by unqualified staff at the hospital, often called “quacks” in the area.
After Alauddin filed a complaint with Superintendent of Police Santosh Kumar Mishra, the police swung into action. On August 13, CO Khadda Basant Kumar Singh and station officer Deepak Singh raided the hospital and registered a case against Imamuddin and Tar Mohammad for cheating, negligence, and possible illegal organ racket. The health department has also stepped in, saying they were unaware of any such issues at the hospital but promise a full probe. “We’ll look into the licenses and practices here,” a local health official stated.
This isn’t the first time Uttar Pradesh has seen such horror stories in private clinics. Similar cases in other districts have raised alarms about fake doctors preying on poor patients. Local residents are now demanding stricter checks on small hospitals to prevent more tragedies.
As of today, the accused are under investigation, and police are gathering evidence like medical records and witness statements. Alauddin’s family hopes for justice and some help with his ongoing treatment. The case highlights how vulnerable people can be when seeking basic healthcare in rural areas.
