Boy, 15, filmed carrying out surgery

The 15-year-old son of two doctors performed a Caesarean section in an apparent bid to enter the Guinness Book of Record as the youngest surgeon.

Instead, the boy's father could be stripped of his licenses and may face criminal charges, officials said.

Dr K Murugesan showed a recording of his son, Dhileepan Raj, performing the Caesarean to an Indian Medical Association (IMA) chapter in the southern state of Tamil Nadu last month.

He has not expressed any regret and has apparently accused the Manaparai medical association of being "jealous" of his son's achievements.
