The final report prepared by a committee of the Sassoon General Hospital (SGH) into the death of Tanisha Bhise, who had been allegedly denied admission by the Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital, has been submitted to the government.
The committee's mandate was to probe whether there was any negligence in the treatment given to the pregnant woman.
"We have submitted the report to the government and the Pune Police," said a senior doctor from SGH.
Bhise, wife of the personal secretary of BJP MLC Amit Gorkhe, was allegedly refused admission at the Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital over non-payment of a Rs 10 lakh deposit. She later died at another hospital after delivering twin daughters.
Three reports — one by a committee set up by the state health department, another by the charity commissioner and a maternal mortality report have already been submitted to the government.
Meanwhile, in a related development, Dr Sushrut Ghaisas has been provided police protection after he received threats, an official said.
"Dr Ghaisas had applied for protection, citing threats to his life. Based on his request, an armed guard has been deployed," a senior police official said.
The deceased woman's family had accused Dr Ghaisas of demanding the Rs 10 lakh deposit before admission. Following the incident, members of the BJP's women's wing allegedly vandalised the clinic run by Dr Ghaisas's mother in Kothrud.
Dr Ghaisas, a consulting gynaecologist at the Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital, resigned last week amid outrage over the pregnant woman's death, citing intense public anger, social media backlash and threat calls.
