An offence of theft was registered against four employees of a private hospital for stealing a dead man's gold ring which went missing when he was taken to the hospital after suffering from a major heart attack. The complaint was filed by the patient's daughter, Vijayshree Patil.

Patil fought in Thane's magistrate court and took several rounds of the local police station for months before managing to register an FIR against two doctors and two nurses of Varad hospital.
