Pune: The failure of the Pune police and Directorate of Medical Education (DME) to provide official documents to Maharashtra Medical Council (MMC) has led to the MMC not being able to take action against Dr. Ajay Taware and Dr. Shrihari Halnor despite issuing notices to them for violation of ethics of medical practitioner. The MMC has issued notice to both the doctors in the now infamous Pune Porsche case wherein it is being alleged that the two doctors allegedly swap the blood sample of the accused teen before testing for alcohol content.
Dr. Vinky Rughwani, the administrator of MMC has said “ We have already written to the Pune Commissioner of Police and sent reminders, but we are yet to hear from them. We have also written to DMER. We need official documents to initiate action against them. Before we taken action, we must follow the principle of natural justice, according to which we must hear the other side as well. We have received response from the two accused doctors but await any official document that is incriminating proof of their actions.”
