Patna: A shocking case of medical negligence has emerged from Patna, where a 24-year-old youth, Deepak Paswan, allegedly died after being treated based on a YouTube video at a private clinic. The incident took place in the Rajendra Nagar Road No. 3 area under Kadamkuan police station on Saturday evening.

Paswan, who was set to join the CISF, was admitted to the clinic after experiencing severe vomiting. According to his brother Nandu Paswan, the doctors assured the family that Deepak would recover within 24 hours. However, he later succumbed during treatment.
Upon hearing the tragic news, Paswan’s family vandalized the clinic, alleging that he was treated using instructions from a YouTube video instead of proper medical procedures.
“If there were qualified doctors in the hospital and proper treatment was provided, my brother would have survived,” said Nandu Paswan.
