Sai
Baba Nursing Home, with a 100 bed capacity, came under the crime branch
scanner after a female foeticide racket was recently unearthed in
Sangli.
Thane crime branch arrested a husband-wife ‘doctor’ duo running a multi-facility nursing home in Dombivali’s Manpada area. The couple, Mohammad Sahil Kashmiri (52) and Anita Kashmiri (50), who had not even finished matriculation – Anita passed std VI, Mohammad failed std X – and were running the 100-bed Sai Baba Nursing Home for the past two years, were arrested on Friday evening.
“According to our information, it was an illegal hospital and all the documents, including their medical degrees, were forged ones. We also had received complaints of illegal abortions performed in the hospital,” Parag Manere, DCP (crime) told Mirror.
Sources said the facility came under the crime branch scanner after a female foeticide racket was unearthed in Sangli last month.
The duo has been remanded in police custody till Monday.
From hospital cleaners to nursing home doctors
“Both Anita and Mohammad grew up in Govandi’s Baiganwadi area and had discontinued education very early. It is not clear where they met or when they got married but they were in the ‘medical profession’ together,” Manere said.
Police have found that the husband and wife were working as cleaners in a hospital in Mumbai before they set out on their own. With whatever info they gleaned by observing doctors in their previous job, they opened their first hospital in Govandi.
“While Anita performed check-ups on patients, since she didn’t know English, Mohammad handled prescriptions. Though they said other doctors were called in from time to time, we are yet to verify this,” said Manere.
According to sources, this facility was allegedly busted by cops after a surgery went awry in 2014. While it is not clear as to how the duo managed to escape jail, the couple didn’t lose much time when they opened the new nursing home in Dombivali.
“We are also looking for any patients they had treated to learn how they would go about the procedure and how much they would charge,” said a source.
