MUMBAI, June 12: Mumbai’s civic-run KEM Hospital on Friday said it has formed a two-member committee to probe into the controversial remarks made by its undergraduate MBBS student Sejal Pawar regarding male cadavers during stand-up comedian Pranit More’s show.
Hospital Dean Dr Harish M Pathak said the comments were unacceptable.
The probe panel is expected to submit its report in the next couple of days, KEM Hospital said after the Maharashtra Cyber police registered a case against More, web developer Himanshu Jangra and others for allegedly disseminating “obscene and objectionable” content on social media.
More and Jangra are at the centre of a controversy over remarks made during a comedy show in Gurugram, Haryana.
That allegedly glorified coercion and non-consensual conduct towards a woman.Another clip from the same show featured Pawar making derogatory comments regarding medical cadavers and deceased male bodies used for educational purposes, which authorities flagged as highly disrespectful to the dignity of the deceased.
She later apologised for the crass comments. (PTI)
