Over a month after mid-day highlighted the licence renewal of a maternity nursing home in Mahim using fraudulent means, the BMC has revoked the permission of the healthcare facility and ordered it to stop all activities at once. The civic body has also launched an enquiry against a retired civic employee who allegedly got the licence of Prabhat Nursing Home renewed using fake documents.

Dr Santosh Khandekar, a paediatrician, had got a licence from the BMC to run Prabhat Nursing Home at a rented space in Mahim. After the licence expired in March, he vacated the premises and moved to Karnataka a month later.
