According to the CMO, the doctor, Matloob, allegedly left the towel in Nazrana's belly after performing her operation at Saifee Nursing Home, which he used to run illegally in the Naugawana Sadat police station area of Amroha.

According to the information, the towel was left inside Nazrana's stomach due to alleged medical staff negligence, and after the lady complained about abdominal pain, he kept her admitted for five more days, claiming that the stomach ache was caused by the cold outside.
