The world believed it was witness to a happy story when Egypt's Eman Ahmed Abdulati - who earned the sobriquet of the heaviest woman in the world at 500 kg - found a saviour in a Mumbai doctor. But her sister and caregiver, Shaimaa, who accompanied Eman to Mumbai, shattered this rosy picture in an exclusive to this paper.

She blames bariatric surgeon Dr Muffazal Lakdawala for a number of complications that Eman is suffering from, and has also alleged that Saifee Hospital lacks a number of facilities required for the treatment, right from a large enough bed to a CT scan machine that can accommodate Eman, who has now dropped 250 kg.
