Overview

  • Pune police registered an FIR against Dr. Sushrut Ghaisas for causing death by negligence after Tanisha Bhise's emergency care was delayed over a ₹10 lakh deposit demand.
  • An expert committee's revised report submitted on April 19 confirmed medical negligence by Dr. Ghaisas, citing a failure to initiate timely treatment for Bhise's high-risk pregnancy.
  • Dr. Ghaisas, who later resigned from Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital, has not been arrested as the charges under Section 106(1) BNS do not mandate it; his statement has been recorded.
  • The Maharashtra government is finalizing new standard operating procedures to enforce no-deposit norms at subsidized hospitals following public and political pressure.
  • Tanisha Bhise, who delivered twins at another hospital, died on March 31 after being denied emergency admission at Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital on March 28.
