The Pune Zilla Parishad has established a district-level inquiry committee to investigate the death of 22-year-old Ranjana Babu Keskar, who died following a sterilisation surgery at a primary health centre in Kedgaon, Daund tehsil, Maharashtra, India. The committee, led by Dr. Deepak Satav, will explore the circumstances surrounding her death, including potential medical negligence and procedural lapses. Keskar underwent the surgery on April 25 but soon experienced severe abdominal pain and heavy bleeding, leading to her transfer to Sassoon General Hospital in Pune. Despite medical intervention, she did not survive. The inquiry will scrutinise pre-operative assessments, the surgical process, anaesthesia use, and post-operative care. Dr. Ramchandra Hankare, Pune's District Health Officer, stated that if negligence is identified, strict action will follow. The tragic incident has raised significant concerns about the safety protocols in family planning surgeries, prompting relatives to demand accountability from health officials.
