Dr TP Lahane

Mumbai Sessions court on Saturday framed charges against JJ Hospital's dean, Dr TP Lahane, in a case where he was accused of allegedly abusing a sweeper. In February 2014, an FIR was lodged against him after a Class IV sweeper employed at the hospital alleged that Lahane had hurled a "casteist slur" at him. In March this year, the complainant, Naresh Narayan Waghela, had approached the Sessions Court wanting to withdraw the case. He was asked to file an application.
