Case against couple for assaulting hospital staff in Mumbai for death of nephew
Mumbai: A couple has been slapped with a case for allegedly assaulting and abusing medical staff at Krantijyoti Mahatma Jyotiba Phule Hospital in Vikhroli following the death of their 15-year-old nephew.
The accused, Raju Reddy and his wife, Sarita, residents of Mahatma Phule Nagar in Powai, were booked under the relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Maharashtra Prevention of Violence Against Medical Personnel Act, 2010.
The teenager, Yuvraj Bhise from Vikhroli (West), was admitted to the ICU after a suicide attempt by hanging. Despite life-saving measures like oxygen and ventilator support, his condition worsened.
Doctors advised the family to shift him to Sion hospital, but before that could happen Bhise's condition deteriorated further.
According to the complaint by nurse Shital Sankpal, when Dr Vinod Uduli informed the family that transferring Bhise was no longer viable, Reddy and Sarita stormed into the ICU, abusing and physically attacking the staff.
They allegedly pulled off masks, pushed personnel, and disrupted treatment efforts. Hospital staff had to forcibly remove them and secure the ICU. At 5.51 am, Bhise was declared dead, but the couple continued to cause a disturbance outside.

'Called For An Emergency...': 'Dedicated' Air India Employee Cut Short His Sick Leave To Join Flight
Last Updated: On the day of the tragedy, Deepak had called his mother from Ahmedabad in the morning, telling her he was about to depart for London. The Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad has thrown up various untold and heartbreaking stories, one of which is particularly poignant. Deepak Pathak, a cabin crew member with Air India, was called in for duty on June 11 due to an emergency, despite being on sick leave. He wasn't originally scheduled for the ill-fated flight on June 12, which ultimately claimed his life. His family said Deepka was a dedicated employee, adding that if he had refused to report for duty, he would be alive today. Deepak's two sisters left for Ahmedabad on Thursday. Their DNA samples were taken on Friday to help identify his body. Deepak was a resident of Katrap, Badlapur East, where he lived with his mother, father and his wife of four years. Deepak's father, Babasaheb, had retired from Central Railway 15 years prior and subsequently relocated from Mumbai to Badlapur. According to Deepak's cousin, Sachin Khadtale, Deepak had been promoted to cabin crew six months prior. He typically worked on international flights, often returning home after 10 to 15 days. Recently, when he came, his health was not good, Sachin told TOI. Deepak's elder sister Shruti said whenever Deepak went on a trip, he used to call his mother and tell her about his trip before taking the flight. On the day of the tragedy, Deepak had called his mother from Ahmedabad in the morning, telling her he was about to depart for London. That call turned out to be his last conversation with his family. When Shruti and her family heard about the crash on Thursday afternoon, they initially didn't think Deepak was on the flight. However, as his phone kept ringing unanswered, they grew worried. The situation became more alarming when his phone was eventually switched off, and they later saw his name in the cabin crew list. His inconsolable parents were not in a position to travel to Ahmedabad, and his sisters stepped in. The Boeing 787 Dreamliner, which crashed into a residential hostel shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad airport for London Gatwick, killed at least 274 people, including passengers, crew, and residents on the ground.

Medical Body Seeks Aid From Tata Group For Students Affected By Plane Crash
Ahmedabad (Gujarat): The Indian Medical Association of the Gujarat State Branch on Friday wrote a letter to the Chairman of Tata Sons, requesting to extend support to medical students injured and killed following the plane crash at the premises of the BJ Medical College in Ahmedabad. In a letter to N Chandrasekaran, Chairman of Tata Sons, the IMA said, "On behalf of the Indian Medical Association - Gujarat State Branch, we extend our heartfelt appreciation for Air India's announcement of Rs 1 crore compensation to the families of the passengers who tragically lost their lives in the recent incident, and for your generous support towards the renovation of the BJMC college hostel." "We humbly request you also to consider extending financial assistance and necessary support to the medical students present at the crash site who were injured or lost their lives in this unfortunate event," said the letter. "These individuals were not only victims but also future pillars of our healthcare system, and their well-being and families deserve similar care and support. Accordingly, we earnestly request you to declare immediately similar help to the medical students injured or who have lost their lives. We sincerely hope you will consider this request with compassion and urgency," the letter stated. Meanwhile, officials from the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) arrived in Ahmedabad, where the London-bound Air India flight crashed on June 12, killing 241 people out of 242 onboard. The AAIB, a division under the Ministry of Civil Aviation, is responsible for probing aircraft accidents in India. On Thursday, Union Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu confirmed that a formal investigation has been launched into the crash of Air India flight AI-171. The Boeing 787-8, Air India flight 171 from Ahmedabad to London, crashed into a resident doctors' hostel building shortly after taking off from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport. The US-based National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is preparing to send a team of investigators to India to assist in the ongoing probe into the deadly crash. In parallel, the Indian government has constituted a high-level multidisciplinary committee to examine the causes leading to the crash and recommend preventive measures. "The Committee will examine the existing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and guidelines issued to prevent and handle such occurrences and suggest comprehensive guidelines for dealing with such instances in the future," stated an order issued by the Ministry of Civil Aviation. "The Committee will not be a substitute for other enquiries being conducted by relevant organisations but will focus on formulating SOPs for preventing and handling such occurrences in the future," the order clarified. According to the ministry, the committee will have access to all relevant records, including flight data, cockpit voice recordings, aircraft maintenance logs, air traffic control records, and witness testimonies. The panel is expected to submit its report within three months. The committee is chaired by the Union Home Secretary and includes representatives from the Ministry of Civil Aviation, the Indian Air Force, and aviation experts. It also noted that it will formulate a comprehensive SOP and suggest the roles of all agencies and organisations of the central and state governments to deal with post-crash incident handling and management.

Ahmedabad family's desperate search for music director whose last known location was 700 metres from Air India plane crash site
Apart from the several distraught families grieving the loss of their loved ones, who died in the Air India plane crash, there is one that is anxiously looking for answers. The family of Mahesh Kalawadia (34), who directs music albums and was neither in the flight nor in the hostel where it crashed, has been looking for him in hospitals, morgues and police stations. So far, they haven't been able to trace him or the Activa scooter on which he was headed home. The family is worried as Mahesh's last location before his phone switched off is nearly 700 metres from the BJ Medical College hostel that the Boeing Dreamliner crashed into. His younger brother, Kartik (32), told The Indian Express, 'He spoke to his wife Hetal around 1:10 pm on Thursday and told her he just got done with a meeting near Law Garden. They shared a few jokes, and he said he was on his way to their Naroda residence.' Kartik said that when Mahesh did not return home for an hour, Hetal dialled his number, which was switched off. 'She kept trying but could not get through,' he said. When she heard about the plane crash, she called Kartik, who then started looking for his brother. 'While we were anxious, I felt there was nothing to worry about as the Meghani Nagar hostel where the incident took place would ideally not be a spot he would cross on the usual route,' Kartik said. When he went to the police station, most officials were occupied with the crash. 'Over the next 24 hours, through some helpful cops, we found that the last location before my brother's phone was switched off was in Meghani Nagar, some 700 metres from the spot. We were told that mobile data does not show pinpoint location, so he may be closer to the accident spot,' he said. Scared and partly confused why he would take that route, Kartik and their relatives went to all the hospitals in the area. 'We were told all bodies were at the Civil hospital. There too, we went through the list of the deceased, the injured and the unclaimed persons, but my brother was nowhere to be found. For the past two nights, we have been going from hospital to police station to the accident site, but there has been no update,' he said. He has also been trying to trace his bike, which would provide some clues, but to no avail. 'We have given a complaint at the local Naroda police station, but they have not been able to do much, and we are just hoping to get some news of his safety,' he said. Apart from Kalawadia, those missing since the crash include Sarlaben Thakor, the cook at the hostel mess, and her two-year-old granddaughter.
