A pregnant woman, Tanisha Bhise, tragically lost her life after the administration at Dinanath Mangeshkar Hospital allegedly stopped her treatment due to a demand for money. This incident has created a stir in political circles. Shiv Sena UBT MLA Aaditya Thackeray has commented on this incident and demanded action against accused doctors, regardless of the caste and religion of the doctors in the hospital. MLA Aaditya Thackeray said that there is a thing called humanity beyond the caste and religion of a person.
He stated that what happened at the Dinanath Mangeshkar Hospital in Pune is a disgrace to humanity. Therefore, Thackeray demanded that the government take strict action against the accused, regardless of their caste and religion. "There are separate medical wards for the Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister in the state. But what is the use of this? Even after calling from the Chief Minister's office, no action was taken. The government should answer why the hospital administration is so arrogant," Aaditya Thackeray said.
"Many calls were made to the hospital administration from the Chief Minister's Relief Fund. But an order was given that no one should call, and that no one should be admitted without paying ten lakhs. This act is a disgrace to humanity, Aaditya Thackeray also said.
