The Beed police yesterday arrested Dr Hari Lahane, father-in-law of Dr Shivaji Sanap, for his alleged involvement in carrying out abortions and sex determination tests. Dr Sanap was arrested on June 2 for allegedly carrying out three illegal abortions.
“The prescriptions and consent letter of the patients on whom abortions were carried out bears the name of Dr Lahane and could be the mastermind of the entire racket involving Sanap. We are investigating the case and things will be clear soon,” said ASP Shrikant Dhivare.
