Agartala, 11th November 2025: A tense situation broke out at GB Hospital after a disagreement arose between hospital staff and the family of a deceased patient over the post-mortem procedure.
The deceased has been identified as Judinpui Kaipeng, aged 27, a resident of Debthang Para under Teliamura subdivision. According to hospital sources, Kaipeng was admitted to the Trauma Centre on Saturday with complaints of severe neck pain. He had been undergoing treatment since then. However, his condition deteriorated on Tuesday morning, and despite the doctors’ best efforts, he was declared dead.
Following the death, the attending doctor informed the family that a post-mortem examination would be required as per hospital protocol. This led to agitation among the family members, particularly Kaipeng’s elder brother, who reportedly refused to allow the post-mortem.
Eyewitnesses said the deceased’s brother, in a fit of anger, dragged the body out of the ward and attempted to place it in a vehicle to take it home. Hospital security guards intervened and managed to remove the body from the vehicle. The situation escalated further as the brother allegedly misbehaved with the security personnel, insisting that the body would not be sent for an autopsy.
Doctors confirmed that Kaipeng had been under treatment for neck pain since Saturday and passed away during medical care. Witnesses suggested that the reason behind the family’s resistance to the post-mortem may become clearer after a detailed investigation.
Authorities are reviewing the incident to prevent such occurrences in the future.
