An expert committee of JJ Hospital has concluded that six doctors from a Govandi hospital grossly deviated from routine practice by not informing police to conduct an inquest or facilitate a postmortem examination after the death of a young woman during an operation in June 2024.Najma Rizwan Sheikh (27) died while undergoing what the doctors of Sheetla Hospital said was a “routine” gynaecological procedure. The doctors told family members that she suffered a “major heart failure” and allegedly discouraged them from seeking a postmortem examination.The JJ Hospital report has now concluded that Sheikh’s death cannot be called “natural”, paving the way on Monday for Chembur police to register an offence against the six doctors. The committee said the cause of death mentioned on the death certificate—pulmonary embolism—could not be justified beyond doubt.
