Suspicious death of undertrial prisoner

Dies after four-hour delay in treatment at Kalyan Aadharwadi jail Kalyan: In a shocking and disturbing incident, an undertrial prisoner lodged at Adharwadi Jail in Kalyan died under suspicious circumstances, triggering serious allegations of negligence against the prison administration. The deceased, identified as Rishikesh Pawar, reportedly complained of severe chest pain on Tuesday evening but was allegedly denied timely medical treatment for nearly four hours. His family claims that this delay proved fatal, raising grave concerns about the functioning and accountability of jail authorities. Rishikesh Pawar, a resident of Dombivli, had been arrested in connection with a case registered at the Hill Line Police Station in Ulhasnagar. Following his arrest, the court had remanded him to 14 days of judicial custody, after which he was lodged in Adharwadi Jail, Kalyan a facility that has been in the news previously for various controversies. According to sources, Pawar began experiencing intense chest pain around 5:00 PM on Tuesday. Despite the seriousness of his condition, he was not immediately shifted for medical treatment. It was only around 9:30 PM that he was taken to Ulhasnagar Central Hospital. In a further alarming detail, he was reportedly transported not in an ambulance, but in a private Bolero vehicle belonging to the jail administration. Family members allege that had Pawar received timely medical attention, his life could have been saved. Questioning the delay, they have demanded to know why no action was taken for hours despite repeated complaints of chest pain. The situation escalated when enraged relatives rushed to the hospital upon learning of Pawar’s death, leading to chaos and protests. The family has demanded strict action against the officials responsible and warned of launching an agitation if justice is not delivered. While Speaking to ‘The Perfect Voice’, Pawar’s friend Yogesh Jaiswal made serious allegations against jail staff. He claimed that despite repeated pleas to shift Pawar to a hospital, a jail staff member identified as “Baba” Raju Por allegedly ignored their requests and responded insensitively. Jaiswal further alleged that there is a lack of proper medical arrangements inside the jail, and accused certain staff, including a doctor, of negligence and misconduct. He also made shocking claims about the availability of contraband substances such as alcohol and drugs inside the jail. Demands have been raised for an inquiry against senior officials, including Jail Superintendent Pradeep Jagtap, medical officer Mangesh Jadhav, and staff member Raju Por, along with calls for their immediate suspension pending investigation. In another concerning development, Superintendent Pradeep Jagtap reportedly avoided responding to media queries, refusing to take calls despite repeated attempts. This silence has further fueled suspicions and raised questions about transparency. Pawar’s body has been sent to J.J. Hospital for post-mortem examination. The exact cause of death will be determined only after the autopsy report is released.

Navy doc treat injured Pakistani crew

Mumbai: In a humanitarian gesture, the Indian Navy (IN) rendered lifesaving medical assistance to save the life of a Pakistani crewman on an Iranian fishing vessel in the Arabian Sea, officials said.


The operation took place on Friday/Saturday around 350 nautical miles in the high seas off Oman coast, with the help of the stealth frigate INS Trikand.


On April 4, the INS Trikand monitored a distress call from the Omani vessel 'Al Omeedi' seeking help for a crew member, who was seriously injured with multiple fractures and blood loss.


Further enquiry revealed that the distressed crewman was working on the vessel's engine when he sustained the grievous injuries and was transferred to another Iran-bound dhow, 'FV Abdul Rehman Hanzia', in the vicinity.

On getting the SOS, INS Trikand immediately altered her course to rush medical assistance to the injured crew.


The 'FV Abdul Rehman Hanzia' has a contingent of 11 Pakistanis and 5 Iranians manning the vessel.


The Indian warship's medical officer along with a team of Marine Commandos boarded the FV.


Ob board, the MO started the three hour long medical procedures, controlling the blood flow, suturing and splinting of the crew's injured fingers.

It was a timely response which prevented the patient's total loss of the injured fingers due to gangrene.


The IN stealth warship also provided crucial medical supplies, antibiotics to the FV to ensure the injured crew's wellbeing till the dhow reaches Iran.


The entire crew of the dhow expressed their gratitude to the IN for rendering assistance on time that helped saving their injured mate's life, said the IN officials.
