In a significant development in Mumbai, the police have registered a criminal case against several doctors nearly 12 years after the death of a young man who was injured in a road accident.

According to the police, the doctors have been accused of medical negligence, delay in treatment, and allegedly destroying crucial medical records. Among the accused are multiple doctors, including Dr. Khalid from Sai Group of Hospitals.

As per the FIR, the complainant, 57-year-old Naseem Bano Babar Shah, alleged that her son, Salman Babar Shah, who worked as a junior artist in the film and television industry, died on April 8, 2014, due to alleged medical negligence following a road accident.

Reports state that Salman was returning from a television shoot when his motorcycle was hit by a pickup vehicle on the Ahmedabad Highway near Vasai. He sustained a severe fracture in his right thigh and was initially taken to a nearby hospital, before being shifted to Millennium Hospital in Shivaji Nagar.

The complaint highlights several irregularities during treatment. It alleges that the hospital insisted on a deposit of ₹25,000 before performing surgery. It is further claimed that the surgery was conducted by Dr. Umesh Pample resulted in excessive blood loss, and that adequate post-operative care and monitoring were not provided. According to the family, the patient’s condition continued to deteriorate instead of improving.

A few days later, doctors at Millennium Hospital reportedly informed the family that blood transfusion facilities were unavailable and advised transferring Salman to Sai Group of Hospitals in Chembur. He was transported by ambulance and admitted under the supervision of Dr. Amit Shobhut.

At Sai Hospital, Salman’s condition worsened further. He reportedly developed serious complications, including fluid accumulation in the chest and signs of kidney failure. He was eventually placed on a ventilator, but could not be saved.

Police have initiated further investigation into the matter, and verification of documents and evidence is currently underway.

Mumbai: Maharashtra Samajwadi Party leader and MLA Abu Asim Azmi has demanded in the Assembly that the Shia community be given one acre of land near the bus depot for the funeral of the deceased during Muharram. The Sunni community has been given land but the Shia community is deprived of it till now, so they should be given one acre of land before Muharram. He said that a large number of Shia community lives in Mumbai’s Mankhod Shivaji Nagar. There is no land available for this community to bury their dead during Muharram. There is 7 acres of vacant land near the Shivaji Nagar bus depot. Two meetings have been held with the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Commissioner regarding this issue. Azmi said that the government has been requested to allocate one acre of this land for the funeral of the deceased and has demanded immediate action.

Mumbai: The law and order situation in Maharashtra is very bad, even the passage of Muslims has become difficult here. Muslims are being targeted on the streets and in public places because of their turbans. The identity of Muslims is being attacked. There has been an increase in hate crimes in Maharashtra. This is worrying. Therefore, action is necessary against such elements and anti-social elements who target Muslims. This demand has been made by MLA Abu Asim Azmi in the Assembly. He said that it has become difficult for Muslims to walk on the streets. No one can tell when someone will attack a Muslim dressed in a beard, kurta and turban. Muslims and common people are now having to bear the brunt of the hatred for power in Maharashtra. It is the result of this hate agenda that incidents of violence against Muslims have increased. Muslim youths were attacked with sharp weapons during Iftar in Pune. A 17-year-old Mehwish was killed in Akola simply because her gaze was focused on a youth from the opposite direction. She killed the youth. These are crimes that are born out of hatred. And in Nanded on the occasion of Eid, a bomb blast has taken place in a suspected motorcycle. This is extremely worrying. This motorcycle exploded when Muslims were offering prayers at the Nanded Eidgah. This was not a conspiracy. The motorcycle rider was also killed in the explosion. All these incidents show the growing hatred that is tearing our society and country apart. Tolerance is eroding, and law and order has deteriorated significantly. I appeal to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to take strict action against hate crimes as soon as possible.
