Need to Share Something Important regarding recent incident at Paras Hospital Srinagar
Dear friends and colleagues,
Over the past few days I have received an overwhelming number of calls and messages from concerned friends, family and patients.
Many of you may have seen news reports or social media posts about an unfortunate incident at Paras Hospital Srinagar, where I previously worked. A tragic event occurred during a surgery, which led to loss of a precious life and following that, a government inquiry was initiated.
Shockingly, due to what Paras Hospital Srinagar later admitted was a system error, my name was wrongly included in the list of doctors who performed the surgery — even though I had already resigned from Paras Hospital Srinagar and have been working full-time at Ujala Cynus Hospital Srinagar since 1st October 2024.
As a result of this mistake, an order was issued by Chief Medical Officer Srinagar where it was directed to stop the practice of the team of doctors and paramedical staff working in Paras Hospital Srinagar who were involved in this case till the inquiry was concluded and my name was mistakenly included in this order.
This order was circulated publicly and has appeared on news portals and social media, causing me immense emotional and professional damage.
Paras Hospital Srinagar has issued a written apology admitting the error, but unfortunately, the order issued by the Chief Medical Officer Srinagar and misinformation remain in circulation.
I want to make it absolutely clear:
🔹 I was not present,
🔹 I was not involved,
🔹 I had no role whatsoever in that surgery or incident.
Despite this, I am facing reputational harm, distress, and financial consequences for something I had no connection with.
I sincerely request your support in sharing this post, so the truth can reach the people who matter.
I also hope the authorities take immediate action to rectify the records, issue a public correction, and restore my dignity.
