Two pregnant women died on Sunday (October 4, 2026) in Bihar’s Jamui Sadar Hospital due to the unavailability of doctors. The family members accused the doctors of negligence and staged a protest by placing the bodies at the hospital’s main gate.

There was tension after Bihar Minister and Jamui MLA Shreyasi Singh went to the hospital and slammed the hospital management, the video of which went viral.

In both cases, the family members alleged that the female doctor on duty was absent and that timely medical treatment was not provided. One woman died before delivery, while the other died after an operation.

The angry family members placed the bodies at the hospital’s main gate and demanded action against the responsible doctors.

One of the deceased, Anita Kumari, 28, was initially taken to the Primary Health Centre on Saturday night (October 3) after experiencing labour pain, from where she was referred to the Sadar Hospital, said the family members.
