Sejal Pawar, a medical student at KEM Hospital, sparked backlash for her comments on 'male corpses' made during stand-up comedian Pranit More's show. She has been sent to 15-day forced leave after a probe was launched against her.
All India Medical Students' Association President, Jitendra Singh, has condemned Sejal Pawar's remarks, stating that they are 'highly condemnable.' He added that people like Pranit More are a 'curse on society' for targeting individuals and religions in the name of comedy.
The KEM hospital has constituted a five-member committee to take a final decision on the matter within a week's time. Sejal Pawar will be counselled, in her parents' or guardian's presence, and an appropriate course of action will be decided upon thereafter.
