The woman, identified as Kamala from Bhind district, had undergone surgery for stomach cancer on February 20, 2022, at Kamala Raja Hospital, a government facility in Gwalior. Unbeknownst to her and her family, the scissors were accidentally left inside her body during the procedure.The oversight came to light recently when Kamala experienced persistent stomach pain.

However, the prolonged presence of the scissors could have posed serious health risks. She and her family are now preparing to pursue legal action against the doctor responsible for this oversight.
