An expectant mother is fighting for her life in hospital after a surgeon performed a caesarean section before realizing the baby was months premature and stitched it up.

The operation was performed by Chief Medical Officer Dr. AK Biswas at Karimganj Civil Hospital.

For reasons that remain unclear, he performed the operation more than three months before the mother was due to give birth on December 9.

Seconds after making the incision and realizing his mistake, he stitched it up before she was sent home to recover.

Dr. Biswas says the family asked him to perform the operation, but did not explain why.

He said, "I knew the scheduled date was in December, but we are performing premature surgeries in complicated cases.

"The pain was severe and his family members asked me to continue the operation. "During the operation, I realized that the fetus was not mature, so I sewed it up. "
