Last Updated: The family said that the child was admitted to SK Jain Hospital in Delhi for a minor operation A four-year-old boy died after a 'minor" surgery at a hospital in East Delhi's Pandav Nagar on Thursday, with officials confirming that his family has alleged medical negligence. According to the family, Viraj Sharma was admitted to SK Jain Hospital for a minor operation. However, within an hour of being hospitalised, he was declared dead. 'He would have gone to Class 1 next year. They (doctors) told us it was just a 15-minute procedure," Viraj's father, Gaurav Sharma was quoted as saying by The Indian Express. The family added that on May 22, doctors had advised some tests to assess whether Viraj was fit to undergo the procedure. According to the boy's father, the test results came back normal, and the doctors gave the go-ahead for the operation. 'On May 28, the doctor told me to bring my son the next morning. On Thursday, around 8 am, I took my son to the hospital. At 8:40 am, they took him to the Operation Theater and told me that it would be done in 15 minutes," said Gaurav, a graphic designer employed at a Noida-based software company. Gaurav said he waited outside the operation theatre until 9:15 am before receiving any information. 'The doctors said they had given him an injection before the operation, which has caused some reactions. They said he was breathing heavily and that his condition is critical," he recalled. He was then taken into the OT, where, according to him, doctors were using electrical pumps on his son's chest. Shortly after, he was informed that Viraj needed to be transferred to another hospital. 'My son's nose was bleeding, his nails were blue, and his body was cold. He was not moving at all. Still, I took him to Makar Hospital with one last hope," he said. At Makar Hospital, doctors conducted an initial examination and declared the child dead. A police complaint has been lodged at the Pandav Nagar police station, and Sharma has also submitted a written complaint to the DCP East District office. Police confirmed that a post-mortem was conducted on Friday, and the findings are awaited to determine whether medical negligence was involved. 'We have constituted a medical board and the inquiry will start as soon as the post-mortem results are in," said DCP (East) Abhishek Dhania. First Published:

Virgin Island stars' hidden romance revealed as Channel 4 releases finale early
Two of Virgin Island's singles who featured on the ground-breaking Channel 4 show updated viewers on what happened between them after the series finished filming Channel 4's boundary-pushing reality series Virgin Island dropped its anticipated finale early, and with it came a surprising romantic twist involving two of the show's stars. Emma and Viraj, who both opened up about their insecurities on the show, were revealed to have gone on a date after leaving the island in the final credits. Channel 4 shared: "Emma and Viraj went on a date and are now travelling in Australia but separately." The surprise revelation came at the end of an already explosive finale, which saw 24-year-old accountant Dave become the one cast member to lose his virginity during the series. Dave was guided into physical intimacy by somatic practitioner Kat Slade in the island's tranquil "zen den". Since filming wrapped, he has entered a new relationship, and credits Virgin Island with helping him find the confidence to pursue it. While Dave's story has grabbed headlines, it is also interesting to see what became of Emma and Viraj after their brief off-screen romance, which sadly did not pan out. Emma, 23, who described herself as the "DUFF" (Designated Ugly Fat Friend) during filming, has had a significant transformation. She has gained confidence and admitted to exploring intimacy since leaving the show, and has been sharing bold videos on TikTok that she would have felt insecure about before. One clip shows her rocking a short skirt with the caption: "Not missing out on wearing a skirt because my legs are too long." While chatting to the Sun about her brief romantic moment with Viraj, Emma admitted: "I'm not in the right mindset for a relationship – there is a lot I need to work on." Viraj, 25, has also changed a lot since the show aired. He has been focusing on his fitness journey and mental health, which led to him shedding weight in 2024 and gaining the confidence he once lacked. He recently addressed the wave of online memes and negativity that followed the show's airing in a candid video that he posted to Instagram. In it he shared: "The reason I went on the show was more of a personal one. A while back I went through a really tough rejection, and I guess that just really shook me and I held onto it. "I think it changed how I interacted with women and I just shut down. I didn't feel like I was good enough, and that feeling just stuck with me. My mates saw the application to apply for the show and they encouraged me to apply and somehow I managed to end up being on it, which is insane." He added that his focus when going on the reality series was not necessarily to have sex, but mainly to "just feel okay being me around women". Viraj went on to thank the Channel 4 therapists that coached him through his insecurities on the series, saying: "I've come out of my shell so much more and I feel way more confident. I feel like I can open myself up very well and that growth, whatever that was that I did on the island, it changed me and I can't thank the therapists enough for those one-to-one workshops."
