In a recent turn of events, two doctors from the renowned Sassoon General Hospital in Maharashtra have been suspended by the state government. This action was taken after they were arrested for their alleged involvement in manipulating blood samples of a minor driver who caused a car crash in Pune involving a Porsche.
On top of that, the dean of BJ Medical College and Sassoon Civil Hospital, Dr Vinayak Kale, has been placed on compulsory leave and the additional charge has been handed over to Dr Chandrakant Mhaske. This decision was made after careful consideration and recommendation by the commissioner of the Maharashtra Medical Education Department.
According to medical education minister Hasan Mushrif, the state government received a report from a three-member committee that was assigned to investigate the allegations. Based on their findings, an order was issued to suspend Dr Ajay Taware, who holds the position of professor and head of the department of forensic medicine, and Dr Shrihari Halnor, a medical officer at Sassoon Hospital.
It is worth noting that Dr Chandrakant Mhaske, the current dean at Punyashlok Ahilyadevi Government Medical College, Baramati, in Pune district, will be taking over the additional responsibilities at BJ Medical College and Sassoon Civil Hospital during this period.
This update comes from the Press Trust of India, highlighting the gravity of the situation and the impact it has on the medical community. It is expected that further actions will be taken as the investigation continues.
