Following the arrest of Dr Ajay Taware, a doctor at Sassoon General Hospital, in connection with the Pune car crash, an old endorsement letter from NCP MLA Sunil Tingre surfaced. The letter, dated December 2023, suggested Dr Taware for the additional role of medical superintendent.
Dr Taware, the head of the Forensic Medicine department, together with Dr Shrihari Halnor, the chief medical officer, and staffer Atul Ghatkamble, were arrested by Pune police. They are suspected of tampering with evidence in a Pune car crash on May 19, in which a speeding Porsche, allegedly driven by an intoxicated 17-year-old, killed two IT professionals in Kalyani Nagar.
