Doctor Booked for Performing Circumcision on a Boy Without Consent
Imagine a little boy went to the hospital for a tummy ache.
While he was there, the doctor did something different to him without his parents' permission.
The parents were very surprised and upset.
Now, the police are looking into what happened to figure out if the doctor made a mistake or did something wrong on purpose.
Also, the hospital is in trouble because it wasn't following all the rules, like keeping everything clean and having the right staff.
The government is asking the doctor to explain why he did this.
It's like the hospital didn't have a license to do certain procedures.
This investigation will help everyone understand why this happened and how to make sure it doesn't happen again.
