Head of the forensic department at Sion hospital Dr Rajesh Dere, who is accused of causing death by negligence, was produced before Shindewadi holiday court in Dadar and was granted bail. His colleagues, including the dean of the hospital, Dr Mohan Joshi, who have known him for the last two decades said they were shocked by the nature of allegations against him and described him as an exceptional doctor and a decent person. Meanwhile, Dr Joshi claimed that he was unaware of Dr Dere running his car over a patient inside the hospital premises until the next day. The incident occurred on Friday evening.
According to Dr Joshi, there was a mild abrasion on the patient’s left leg. “That is what the photograph showed which I had witnessed in the mortuary. There was a chest injury, no face injury, and one dressing was given to the right wrist. If there is anything else that the postmortem shows, they will be able to take action against Dr Dere.”
