Hospital Probes Death: Chest Pain Ignored as Acidity?

A public health department committee is investigating the death of a 30-year-old man, Sumit Srikant Gadre, who passed away on January 18, 2026. His family alleges gross medical negligence at Aundh District Hospital (ADH).

Gadre was admitted to ADH around 3:40 am on January 18, 2026, complaining of severe chest pain. Despite an ECG, doctors reportedly diagnosed acidity and nausea, administering medication for these conditions and discharging him. Tragically, he collapsed shortly after returning home and was declared dead on arrival when rushed back to the same hospital.

The deceased's brother stated that doctors refused admission and threatened the family. He believes proper treatment would have saved his brother's life and seeks culpable homicide charges against the staff. Sangvi police have received the complaint and will refer the case to the Medical Board of Sassoon General Hospital.
