Siwan district consumer forum has found doctor Shailesh Kumar guilty of the failed sterilisation operation and imposed a fine of Rs.1.5 lakh on him. Forum president Sitaram Pandey said it was a clear case of failed sterilisation operation by a government doctor.

After nearly five years, when she went to New Delhi for a medical check up, she was surprised to know that she was four months pregnant.
She gave birth to her fourth daughter in 2006. After that, she filed a complaint against Kumar in the consumer forum.
Siwan is about 150 km from state capital Patna.
