Uttar Pradesh News: The Uttar Pradesh government has dispatched a health department team to M Khan Hospital in this city after it was claimed that the hospital circumcised a 2.5-year-old boy instead of performing the tongue operation for which he had been brought there. The deputy chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, Brajesh Pathak, who is also in charge of health policy, stated in a tweet on Saturday that he has sent a team from the health department to the hospital to look into the claims, and that if they are confirmed, harsh action will be done.

Hospital Accused of Performing Circumcision Instead of Tongue Surgery
The family had gone to the M Khan Hospital for treatment of the child’s stammer, where they were advised to have a tongue surgery, according to Chief Medical Officer Dr. Balbir Singh. Following the procedure, the child’s family claimed that the doctors circumcised the child rather than performing surgery on the tongue. Members of Hindu right organisations also responded strongly to the issue by organising demonstrations and shouting down the hospital. Police were stationed outside the hospital to quell the unrest and stop it from escalating.
