ShareConman Munir Khan, who is already evading arrest in several cases registered against him at the Versova police station, is now in far more trouble with the police slapping charges of causing death by negligence against him.
The move came after the investigators received eight complaints from relatives of patients who died after consuming the medicine supplied to them by Khan. The victims were suffering from different ailments like cancer, heart problems, diabetes and high blood pressure, and were undergoing specialised medical treatment when Khan lured them in with a 'wonder drug', which they then purchased from him.
The complainants said that while prescribing the drug, Khan strictly ordered the patients to discontinue all previous medicines and to consume only his medicine. The relatives complained that their kin died within days of taking Khan's medicine. Police officials conducting investigations confirmed the development.
"We received eight such complaints during the past few days and criminal charges of causing death by negligence have been booked against Khan, in addition to several other cases registered against him," said Suresh Nalawade, senior inspector of police, Versova police station.
"Our investigations have so far revealed that Khan mixed two banned Ayurvedic herbs along with other herbs in his so-called magic potion. Even the other ingredients do not match the description provided in the Ayurvedic medicine list," Nalawade further revealed.
For the time being, the cops have kept the identity of the complainants under wraps to shield them from Khan's aides who may make attempts to tamper with evidence.
