Medical Negligence Case Filed After Patient's Death at Bhiwandi Hospital
A 33-year-old man, Nitin Vishwanath Waghmare, died in April at Nobel Hospital in Bhiwandi after treatment for chest pain. An investigation found that Dr. Afaque Khan administered thrombolysis without a specialist present and was not continuously on-site during treatment. Police registered a case of medical negligence against the doctor under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The family has demanded the doctor's arrest and the hospital's license cancellation, warning of protests if action is delayed.
