A gynaecologist in Sangvi was attacked by a man with a sharp weapon after he refused to medically terminate the pregnancy of his live-in partner. According to the doctor, the woman was five months pregnant and since terminating pregnancy after 12 weeks without the certificate of medical practitioners is illegal, he refused to abort the foetus.

The injured doctor Amol Bidkar runs a maternity centre at Kate Puram Chowk in Pimple Gurav area. According to police, Dr Bidkar was in his clinic when the attacker came to meet him around 9.30 pm on Saturday. Upon refusing to terminate the woman’s pregnancy, he was attacked and sustained injuries on his right hand.

Senior police inspector Ajay Chandkhede, in-charge of Sangvi police station told DNA, “Nearly two weeks ago, the attacker had come to Dr Bidkar’s clinic along with a pregnant woman. The man claimed that the woman was his live-in partner and they wanted to terminate the pregnancy. When Dr Bidkar examined the woman, he found that she was five months pregnant and therefore refused to terminate the pregnancy.”
