Masala salesman-turned-ortho Hemant Sonawane used a bogus medical degree to run a clinic for three years. Patients yet to recover from his unskilled procedures
In 2019, Leena Khatkekar underwent a hip replacement surgery at the hands of Sonawane. She is yet to recover
The salesman who ran an orthopaedic clinic in Vasai for over three years with a fake medical degree allegedly took the DIY (do it yourself) route to carry out surgeries on patients. The arrested accused, Hemant Sonawane, alias Hemant Patil, has told the police that he would watch YouTube videos before performing complicated procedures. His patients, the victims of botched operations, are now paying the price.
