We weren't satisfied with her treatment. So we admitted her in pvt hospital. They kept saying she's fine & made us wait for 2 days. Suddenly they asked us to take her to Patna where they said she has broken bones & internal injuries. No case registered yet: Omkar, relative pic.twitter.com/uCDJnXgCXA

The woman who died was operated upon in torchlight. The doctors at the hospital used a torch as there was no electricity in the hospital at the time of surgery.
There was no facility of the generator at the hospital and therefore the doctors had no other option.
