There will be no arrest in the case of alleged medical negligence by Bombay Hospital doctors till the inquiry is complete. The Azad Maidan police said this while investigating into the death of a Colaba woman’s mother, Gitika Ghosh, who allegedly died due to the negligence of five doctors.
The police are not authorised to register a case against any doctor unless an inquiry by a panel of doctors is conducted and a report submitted to the police. “The panel has submitted a three-line report which only says that the death was due to medical negligence. The report has not named any doctor,” said a source from the Azad Maidan police station.
The complainant, Nandini Suchde, brought her elderly mother from Kolkata in January and got her admitted to Bombay Hospital with a fractured thighbone. A team of eight doctors was formed to treat Ghosh. The complainant told the police that her mother’s condition deteriorated and the doctors delayed in shifting her mother to the ICU. This increased complications and resulted in Ghosh’s death.
In June, Suchde approached the police alleging that her mother had died due to the doctors’ negligence. Suchde’s complaint has named four doctors – Dr ML Saraf, Dr PL Tiwari, Dr Parikh, Dr N Bharucha and Dr Borges.
Ravindra Shisve, deputy commissioner of police, said: “We will record statements of all parties involved. After this, will we decide the next course of action.” The police have booked the doctors under sections of IPC, including culpable homicide not amounting to murder, cheating, giving false information and abetment.
