August 18, 2025

In a tragic turn of events, the Suryapet police are currently searching for a Registered Medical Practitioner (RMP) named Bandi Srinivas, following a botched abortion surgery that resulted in the death of a 28-year-old woman. The incident occurred on August 16, when Vijaytha, who was five months pregnant, approached RMP Bandi Srinivas seeking an abortion.

On Sunday, August 17, Vijaytha’s husband approached the police to register a complaint about the surgery and his wife’s subsequent death. The Medical Termination Act, which governs such procedures in India, has been brought into question due to this unfortunate incident.

It is important to note that RMP Bandi Srinivas had no formal medical qualifications, yet he was operating Sai Balaji Hospital in Tungaturthi for a few years. The circumstances surrounding the case are currently under investigation, and the police are urging anyone with information regarding RMP Bandi Srinivas’ whereabouts to come forward.

This incident has sparked a larger debate about the regulation of medical practitioners and the safety standards in place for such procedures. As this story develops, follow The News Minute’s WhatsApp channel for updates and story links.
