Siddipet, July 14, 2025 – A heart-wrenching incident at Lohit Sai Hospital has plunged Siddipet into grief and fury. Ahmad Irfan Uddin Patel, a 28-year-old from Sajid Pura, walked into the private hospital on July 11, 2025, seeking relief from persistent stomach pain. What should have been a routine appendectomy ended in his death, with conflicting accounts from the hospital fueling public outrage. According to our sources, reported on July 13, 2025, the community is demanding swift government action to prevent such tragedies.
A Life Lost Too Soon
Irfan, the only son and beloved brother to two sisters, visited Lohit Sai Hospital after enduring stomach pain for days. On July 11, after attending Friday prayers at a local mosque, he was admitted, diagnosed with appendicitis, and advised to undergo surgery. His family, trusting the doctors, consented, expecting a swift recovery. Tragically, post-surgery, the hospital reported a critical drop in Irfan’s blood pressure, urging his transfer to KIMS Hospital in Hyderabad. Despite a desperate rush, Irfan succumbed during treatment, leaving his family devastated.
Hospital’s Contradictions Fuel Distrust
The hospital’s inconsistent narrative has deepened public distrust. Initially, staff claimed no surgery occurred, only to later admit the appendectomy was performed after scans at KIMS confirmed the appendix’s removal. The vague, contradictory responses have sparked suspicions of negligence. “How can a hospital be so unclear about a life lost?” a local resident demanded, echoing the community’s frustration.
A Community in Mourning
Irfan’s death has left an indelible mark on Siddipet. As the only son of his parents, with two sisters, he was the family’s pride and hope. Married two years ago, he leaves behind a 14-month-old son and a grieving wife. His funeral prayers were held today, July 14, 2025, at the Siddipet Eidgah after Zohar prayers, followed by burial in the same graveyard. A somber crowd gathered, mourning a young life cut short. Irfan’s father, amidst his grief, addressed the angry crowd and relatives, urging them to maintain law and order. “My son won’t return by taking action, but I want the government to ensure no one else loses their young son like this,” he said, declining to file a police complaint but calling for strict government action against the hospital.
Public Demands Accountability
The tragedy has ignited outrage, with residents questioning the competence of Lohit Sai Hospital. Suspicions of errors in anesthesia, surgical technique, or post-operative care, compounded by the delayed referral, have fueled accusations of negligence. Social media is abuzz with demands for stricter oversight of private hospitals. “We trust hospitals to save lives, not end them,” a local shopkeeper posted, capturing the community’s anger. Residents are urging authorities to launch a suo moto investigation, revoke the hospital’s license, and discipline the doctors involved to prevent further losses.
A Call for Reform
The incident exposes critical gaps in Siddipet’s healthcare system, particularly in private facilities with limited oversight. The community is pushing for stricter regulations, transparent medical protocols, and better emergency preparedness. Many advocate for clear referral systems to advanced centers like Hyderabad and public awareness about patient rights.
As of 8:44 PM IST, July 14, 2025, Lohit Sai Hospital has issued no statement, and no official probe has been announced. Siddipet remains united, urging authorities to act decisively to deliver justice for Irfan and protect others from similar tragedies.

We express our deepest and most heartfelt condolences to the family of Ahmad Irfan Uddin Patel, a young man whose life was tragically cut short under circumstances that raise serious concerns.
We stand in solemn solidarity with Irfan’s grieving family during this time of unimaginable sorrow. We honor his memory and mourn the void his absence leaves behind.
At the same time, we join the people of Siddipet in voicing firm and principled protest against the disturbing inconsistencies and apparent negligence surrounding the events that occurred at Lohit Sai Hospital. The contradictory statements issued by the hospital have only deepened public distrust and intensified the grief of those left behind. The failure to provide a transparent, timely, and medically sound response is unacceptable and warrants urgent and thorough scrutiny.
This is not an isolated medical error—it is a potential systemic failure. We call upon the Government of Telangana, the District Medical and Health Officer (DMHO), and relevant health authorities to immediately:
Initiate a transparent and independent investigation into the circumstances of Irfan’s death.
Suspend the operations of Lohit Sai Hospital pending the outcome of the inquiry.
Hold accountable all medical personnel and administrators found guilty of misconduct or negligence.
Enforce stricter regulations and oversight of private healthcare institutions to prevent such tragedies in the future.
We believe no family should ever have to experience what Irfan’s family is enduring now. Hospitals must remain places of healing and trust—not fear and uncertainty.
We appeal to all citizens to remain calm, united, and lawful in their expression of grief and anger, while continuing to demand justice, accountability, and reform.
For Irfan. For Siddipet. For every patient’s right to safe and dignified care.
