A man once tasked with saving Maharashtra ’s daughters has now been unmasked as one of their most prolific predators.
How events unfolded
When she went to a private clinic in Beed for the abortion, the doctor botched the procedure.
How a Telangana government doctor’s absence from duty exposed a web of violations at his private hospital “We went, had a sonography, and the family suggested abortion,” Ms. Renu said, without needing to specify that the third child was a girl. Phrases like “ khali karun ye (empty it and come back)” or “ tapasun baghu (let us check)” echo across both rural and urban Maharashtra. She said the clean-up was not done properly, leaving her with lasting physical pain and nowhere to turn for justice.
