Hema Ahuja, Bhakti Mehare and Ankita Khandelwal – the three who allegedly tormented Dr Payal Tadvi, pushing her to end her life, will now return to the same BYL Nair Hospital to complete their pending education – on the SC's orders. | @sukanyashantha

This order comes despite staunch opposition to it by the state govt, the Mumbai police and Payal’s mother Abeda Tadvi.

All three say that letting them rejoin college would jeopardise the trial, with the possibility of them threatening/coercing witnesses.

While the Bombay HC had granted them bail on conditions including that their medical licenses be suspended, the Maharashtra Medical Council (MMC) proceeded to discreetly revoke the suspension of two anyway, while the SC was still hearing their appeal.

The police, in the chargesheet, have recorded over 250 witness statements.

Many among them are junior students who had also allegedly been tortured by the accused three.

These witnesses have made damning revelations against them.

thewire.in/law/payal-tadv…
According to most witnesses, Payal, a 26-year-old postgraduate resident doctor, was subjected to sustained humiliation and torture by her three caste Hindu seniors and causing her to die by suicide on May 22.

The three were named in her suicide note.

While it took nearly one-and-half months for India to cross 100 cases after the first patient was identified on January 31, it took only four days for the case count to double from 288 to 599 last week.

ICMR casts doubts on its own testing strategy.

Jacob John, a professor of community medicine at Vellore’s Christian Medical College, said, “I believe the testing of only travel-related cases was a serious error.” | @PriyankaPulla reports.

science.thewire.in/health/coronav…
@PriyankaPulla By ICMR’s own admission, India had ample capacity to conduct tests for COVID-19, and so a shortage wasn’t the cause for the slow ramp-up.

Another coauthor of the paper, has said previously that ICMR was only using 10% of its testing capacity.

EXCLUSIVE | The Bhartiya Janta Party took a large donation from a company that is now being probed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for facilitating “terror funding,” financial declarations by the BJP itself reveal. | @rohini_sgh writes.

thewire.in/government/bjp…
@rohini_sgh RKW Developers Ltd, a company at the heart of a probe by the ED for carrying out transactions with and buying properties from the late Iqbal Memon alias Iqbal Mirchi – an accused in the 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts – gave money to the ruling party.

thewire.in/politics/bjp-d…
@rohini_sgh According to the BJP’s filings with the Election Commission, in 2014-15, RKW, gave Rs 10 crore to the party.

No individual company donating on its own has given the party more than what RKW gave it.
