Mumbai: Member of Parliament and NCP (SP) leader Supriya Sule said on Friday that the women doctors of Mumbai’s civic-run Nair Hospital who have raised complaints about sexual harassment are being silenced. “Despite them requesting to be heard, government authorities are turning a blind eye to this entire issue. We demand urgent action now, it is gravely jeopardising women’s safety,” Sule said in her X post.

On Thursday, in a hearing, several more female students came forward to lodge complaints against a suspended assistant professor from BYL Nair Hospital, who was accused of sexual harassment. To date, around 10 complaints have been filed against the professor, reports say.

As per HT’s report, the hearing was organised following a directive from the additional municipal commissioner of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation. It was conducted by the Savitribai Phule Women’s Resource Centre’s Internal Complaints Committee and Sexual Harassment Prevention Committee at the Workplace. 

What Is the Nair Hospital Case

A female student studying at Bai Yamunabai Laxman (B.Y.L.) Nair Hospital and Medical College, located in Mumbai Central, lodged an official complaint accusing the associate professor of inappropriate conduct and sexual harassment. The allegations were initially examined by the hospital’s internal Sexual Harassment Prevention Committee.

Earlier this month, Nair Hospital’s Dean had said that he received the information about the sexual harassment case from the internal complaints committee on April 12 and by first week of June the professor was taken off from all academic activities.

On September 15, the BMC informed that the professor was suspended after the sexual harassment complaints. The case was escalated to the Municipal Headquarters’ Complaint Committee under the Savitribai Phule Women’s Resource Center.

Mumbai: Akshay Shinde, the main accused in the Badlapur atrocities case, was encountered. After the death of Akshay Shinde, his parents have complained that there is no place to bury him and there is opposition to his funeral. In this background, Akshay Shinde’s parents rushed to the High Court. A hearing was held in the High Court about this recently. At this time, the High Court gave an important order to bury the body of Akshay Shinde by Monday. It has also been said by the lawyers that the state government will provide space for this.

Badlapur case accused Akshay Shinde had an encounter with the police three days ago. Akshay’s body was handed over to his relatives the next day. At this time, it was decided to bury the dead body as the case is being investigated. But the locals of Badlapur and the MNS have opposed the burial of his body. There is opposition to burying Akshay’s body in three places. During the hearing in the court today in this case, the judge has given a strict order to the police. Take steps to bury Akshay’s body by Monday, if the body is buried in two days then inform the court on Monday, the court also said.

During this hearing, the government advocates presented their side in this matter. The local police are looking after the safety of Akshay Shinde’s parents. But the lawyers who are in favor of Akshay Shinde are going outside the court and giving wrong information to the media. Akshay Shinde’s parents are being fully supported by the state government, the public prosecutor said.

The judge will take police precautions in this regard. He said that we have already informed him in this regard. After this, the public prosecutor told the court that we will provide a place for burying the dead body. The judge ordered to cooperate with the government, they are taking responsibility in this regard.

In this hearing, the High Court has directed to bury the body by Monday. Also, the state government will provide a place to bury the body of Akshay Shinde. The lawyers of the state government have testified in this regard in the Bombay High Court.
