UP Man Performs Self-Surgery After Watching YouTube, Applies 11 Stitches
Raja Babu, 32, from Vrindavan, attempted self-surgery for severe stomach pain using YouTube instructions. He was rushed to the hospital when the anesthesia wore off.

In a bizarre incident, a young man from Vrindavan attempted to perform surgery on himself to alleviate his stomach pain. Raja Babu, aged 32, a resident of Sunrakh village, had been suffering from severe stomach pain for several days. Despite multiple visits to the doctor, he found no relief. Frustrated, he decided to undertake the operation himself.
Raja Babu had previously undergone an appendix operation 18 years ago. His family members, alarmed by his screams, immediately rushed him to the District Joint Hospital, where doctors provided initial treatment. Given his serious condition, the doctors referred him to Agra SN Hospital for further care.
