Joint Commissioner of Police (Admn) Hemant Nagrale urges cops to take survivors and accused to nearby hospitals for examination and collection of medical evidence and in turn reduce the work load of the doctors at Nagpada Police Hospital
The police no longer require to bring sexual assault survivors and accused to the Nagpada Police Hospital for collection of medical evidence, as the same service is available at 11 different city hospitals run by theu00a0state.
However, irrespective of the same being intimated to all 93 police stations, survivors are still being brought to the Nagpada Police Hospital, in spite of the options available close by. The instructions were even published in a police bulletin dated August 27, 2013, instructing the same along with the names of hospitals, but this is not being followed diligently by the police stations.
