The youth died during treatment in Rewa. Relatives created a ruckus by keeping the body in Satna.

After the operation, the patient's condition started deteriorating, due to which he was referred to Rewa's Super Speciality Hospital. Here, investigations revealed a deep cut on the second kidney, which had been stitched.
Due to increased blood leakage and infection, doctors had to remove the second kidney as well. After this, the patient's condition continuously worsened, and he eventually died.
