Mumbai's King Edward Memorial (KEM) hospital has termed Dr Sejal Pawar's remarks on ‘male corpse’ made at stand-up comedian Pranit More's show as insensitive and objectionable.
The hospital said it has taken ‘serious note’ of remarks made by Pawar, MBBS student of the institution, and formed a probe panel upon receiving complaints.
The preliminary fact-finding report has now been received by the Dean’s office, which notes that certain remarks made during the programme were objectionable and inconsistent with the dignity, empathy, restraint and professional responsibility expected from a medical student.
Pawar has submitted a written apology acknowledging that some of her statements were inappropriate and may have caused distress.
Pawar will be counselled at the institute on Saturday in presence of her parents and an appropriate action will be taken after that.
