The video surfaced only weeks after Vishal Agarwal was released on bail after spending nearly 22 months in custody in connection with the cover-up of the deadly crash caused by his minor son.
The court stated that the alleged conspiracy orchestrated by the minor accused’s father and others to tamper with the blood sample to shield the minor accused amounted to an erosion of justice for the man and woman who lost their lives due to the minor boy’s reckless driving.
Dr Taware was asked to step down in April 2022 as the medical superintendent of Sassoon General Hospital after an illegal organ transplant case was exposed. He was reinstated in December 2023 on the recommendation of NCP MLA Sunil Tingre.
Maharashtra Medical Council (MMC) suspended registrations of Sassoon General Hospital's former head of forensic sciences department, Dr Ajay Taware and former casualty medical officer (CMO) Dr Shrihari Halnor. The two are facing trial in the case of swapping the blood sample of the accused teenager.
