The Vikhroli Parksite police booked two doctors on Monday for medical negligence which led to the death of a 35-year-old woman in 2019. The woman had undergone a procedure to remove her tonsils at a private hospital in Kanjurmarg where they treated her. The police are in the process of issuing summons to the doctors asking them to appear for investigation.

Vikhroli (E) resident Manisha Pawar was suffering from tonsillitis. A local doctor told her to get the tonsils removed when the swelling reduced. Manisha visited the doctor in the last week of March 2019, when he said she can undergo the operation. He referred her to Sai Samruddhi Hospital in Kanjurmarg (E).
