Overview

  • An audio clip that surfaced on May 2 prompted Kausar Fatima’s husband to file a complaint and led Udgir police to register an FIR on May 24.
  • The FIR accuses Dr. Shashikant Deshpande under sections for deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings and related offences.
  • In the 2021 recording, Deshpande is heard telling Dr. Shashikant Dange to “kill” patient Kausar Fatima, who later recovered, and using a caste-based slur.
  • Police have seized Deshpande’s mobile phone and issued notices to both doctors as forensic teams verify the clip’s authenticity.
  • Dr. Dange, currently out of district, is expected to return imminently to cooperate with the investigation and surrender his device.
