In an appalling report, five doctors of Cooper hospital who had signed off on actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s post-mortem examination report have been relentlessly harassed.
As per Mumbai Mirror report, their phones and Cooper hospital’s landline ring constantly; screenshots of FB account and LinkedIn profile posted online.
It adds, the targeted malicious campaign, which put out the doctors’ names with their phone numbers with a copy of the autopsy report— took off online three days ago with the allegation that they had taken a bribe to declare that the actor had died by suicide.
Not only was this claim widely shared along with a screenshot of the Facebook account of one of the doctors and the LinkedIn profile of another, but many people also began making abusive calls to them.
Some even tracked down the doctors’ alternative contact numbers by pretending to be patients in distress, as well as flooded the hospital’s landline with calls. Many of these call recordings have been posted online, prompting other harassers to do the same.
From demanding that the doctors’ licences be cancelled and be booked for murder to calling for the hospital’s closure, the harassers haven’t spared anyone. They have even published the contact numbers and work profiles of doctors with similar names.
Dr Pinakin Gujjar, dean of Cooper hospital, confirmed to the media portal that the five doctors are being abused online as well as on calls, but refused to divulge more details, saying he, too, has been subjected to similar harassment.
For the uninitiated, in its post-mortem examination report, conducted hours after Rajput’s body was found in his Bandra apartment on June 14, Cooper hospital had said the actor had died of “asphyxia due to hanging”.
Rajput’s family has questioned why the time of death, which is usually mentioned in an autopsy report, is missing from it. Last month, the Forensic Science Laboratory in Kalina ruled out homicide and said that there was no trace of any harmful or toxic chemicals and/or drugs in Rajput’s viscera samples.
