Grandson, her brother-in-law, and auto driver who dumped elderly cancer patient on Aarey road arrested in Mumbai
Mumbai: Four days after a cancer-afflicted senior citizen was found on a street at Aarey Colony, police arrested her grandson, her elderly brother-in-law and an autorickshaw driver and charged them for abandoning her and endangering her life and safety.
Police said her grandson, Sagar Shewale (33) couldn't get her admitted to any hospital and was "fed up" of looking after her. Her cancer is in an advanced stage.
Yashoda Gaikwad, who is in her 60s, was found sitting near some bushes at Aarey Colony around 7am on June 21. She had a wound on her face and was unable to speak clearly, said police officials.

Police took her to Trauma Care Hospital in Jogeshwari, but the facility did not have the necessary equipment to treat her.
She was then admitted to R N Cooper Hospital in Vile Parle (W), where she is currently recuperating.
Investigations revealed that Yashoda lived with Shevale, his wife and son in Kandivli (E). When police contacted Shevale, who works as an office boy at Andheri, he expressed shock to learn about the circumstances in which his grandmother was found.
But on further investigation, police learnt that Shevale had not disclosed all facts.

Shevale had tried to get his grandmother admitted to the Babasaheb Ambedkar Hospital in Kandivli on June 20, but failed to do so. He then contacted her brother-in-law, Babasaheb Gaikwad (70). They hired an autorickshaw driver, Sanjay Kadreshim (32), to ferry her to Aarey Colony. They told police that it was dark when they dumped her on the street.
Shevale paid Kadreshim Rs 400 for the job.
Babasaheb told police that later he felt remorse and asked Shevale to pick up his grandmother from Aarey Colony. He claimed that Shevale lied to him that he had brought her home and even fed her.
Shevale, Babasaheb and Kadreshim have been booked under the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
