The case was based on the complaint filed by Goldy Sharma who lost his brother Rajkumar Sharma in a road accident in 2018. While the brother was declared dead on arrival, Goldy said that he was told by some hospital staff that his brother was alive when he was wheeled into the hospital which made him suspicious about the credibility of the doctors.
Goldy then sought information regarding the qualifications of the doctors on duty in the ICU, and the number of deaths at the ICU between February 17, 2018, and November 22, 2018. After the police did not register an FIR in the matter, Sharma approached the magistrate court, which directed the police to register an FIR.
Incidentally, an inspector and constable from the Mulund police station were arrested after they were trapped by the Anti Corruption Bureau while allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 2 lakh for not arresting an accused in the case.
