A 27-year-old aspiring constable was seriously injured amid the ongoing recruitment drive at the Kalina centre on Thursday. According to the police sources, the candidate, Dinesh Kailash Patil, a resident of Nandurbar, had to be rushed to VN Desai hospital at Santacruz East after cracking his ankle while participating in the 100-metre run around 2 pm.
Doctors placed a plaster on his leg but did not operate immediately, stating that Patil would have to wait for two days to go under the knife. Patil told mid-day, “I thought it was just a fracture but after getting an X-ray, cracks were found in the ankle. Doctors told me that they would operate as it’s crucial. There were cops present in the hospital and they also requested the hospital to carry out the procedure but the staff refused to do so.”
