Pune: A Pune-based doctor was arrested by the Hinjewadi police this week for alleged negligence in the treatment of a 13-year-old girl who died following treatment at his clinic in September 2017. A complaint in this regard was filed by Assistant Police Inspector A M Pagare at the Hinjewadi police station against Dr Baban Jadhav, a resident of Bavdhan, following the girl's death.

Arun Borde, who now works as a labourer in Andhra Pradesh, had admitted his daughter Pradnya to Ramkrishna Clinic for a cold and fever on September 24, 2017. "My daughter was studying in Std VIII and was suffering from cold and fever following her birthday. I took her to Dr Jadhav's clinic and was told that it was a viral infection. He gave her an injection. He killed our daughter and we couldn't do anything about it owing to our financial condition. We want justice for our daughter," said Borde.
