I knew Abhang. I also had information about how the Chief Medical Officer at Taloja had neglected the health issues that Abhang was going through and treatment in the five days leading to his death,” Gaichor writes in the letter to the SHRC, calling the CMO’s treatment of Abhang irresponsible and inhuman.- Gaichor, human rights activist and a member of Kabir Kala Manch..On December 7, Abhang returned to jail after his hearing at the Belapur sessions court. The same evening, he began complaining of pain in his lower abdomen. But despite sending out a medical report, he was not given any treatment until the next morning when the constable came for barack opening. Even after that, he had to wait for around one and a half hours to be taken for check-up,” Gaichor alleges.
