A doctor has reportedly been caught after allegedly attempting to sell one of a set of newborn twins delivered via Caesarean section, sparking outrage and concern over safety standards in healthcare facilities.
According to reports, the incident occurred shortly after the successful delivery of the twins, when the medical professional allegedly made moves to unlawfully transfer one of the babies. The situation, however, took a dramatic turn when members of the family arrived unexpectedly at the hospital.
Sources say the sudden presence of the relatives disrupted the alleged plan, leading to the doctor being confronted on the spot. The incident quickly escalated, drawing attention from other staff and individuals within the facility.
