My husband took me to a private nursing home in Kolkata, where he and the medical staff told me that I would be fine after removing my inflamed appendix through surgery. My husband warned me not to disclose the surgery in Kolkata to anyone. I begged him to take me to a doctor to treat the pain, but he ignored me.”
On ow she found out that her right kidney was missing, the 28-year-old lady disclosed that three months ago she was allegedly taken to North Bengal Medical College by her family members and doctors discovered that her kidney has been removed.
