Beed, Oct 29
Leader of the Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, on Wednesday, over the phone spoke to the family members of a woman doctor from Satara hospital in Maharashtra, who committed suicide, and assured them justice.
Speaking to the media after the visit, Sapkal said that the woman doctor was subjected to immense pressure to do wrongful acts and was severely harassed.
Sapkal further stated that the role of the State Women’s Commission in this case is equally disappointing. Instead of meeting the victim’s family to gather facts, they first met the police and tried to cover up the matter.
Satara Police have arrested the accused Police Sub-Inspector Gopal Badane (accused of repeated rape) and Prashant Bankar (a software engineer and son of her landlord, accused of mental harassment). Both have been sent to police custody.
