Grandson Admits Dumping Elderly Cancer Patient Found In Garbage Pile
Last Updated: Yashoda Gaikwad, a 60-year-old cancer patient, was found in a Mumbai garbage pile. Her grandson, Sagar Shewale, admitted to dumping her. The grandson of an elderly cancer patient, who was found lying in a garbage pile in Aarey Colony of Mumbai last week, admitted to dumping her. The family members of the woman had initially denied any involvement in the incident, but the grandson has now admitted that he dumped her there. The 60-year-old woman, identified as Yashoda Gaikwad, was fighting skin cancer and suffering from mental health issues. She was discovered among piles of rotting garbage last week. The woman's pictures got circulated online, and her family was found to be living in Kandivali, police said. Earlier, her family had claimed that Yashoda went out of the house as per her own will and that she had been doing this for the last few years. However, these claims of the family were countered by fresh CCTV footage which surfaced. As reported by NDTV, Yashoda's grandson, Sagar Shewale and his uncle Babasaheb Gaikwad were seen walking with the woman inside and then outside the hospital in CCTV footage. The two reportedly wanted to admit the woman to the hospital, but she was denied admission. The CCTV footage did not support Yashoda's family's earlier statements, and after further questioning, grandson Sagar Shewale accepted that he dumped his grandmother in a garbage pile. As per reports, the uncle and nephew reached home at around 3:30 am, and after that, they hired a rickshaw and took Yashoda to a place where they abandoned her. Yashoda Gaikwad was found by the Mumbai Police in unit number 32 of Aarey Colony last week. According to news agency PTI, the woman was admitted to civic-run Cooper Hospital in Vile Parle. 'The woman told us her name was Yashoda Gaikwad and that she used to live with her grandson in Malad. She claimed he brought her to Aarey and dumped her. The two addresses she provided were of no use as no one was staying there," said a police official. The police have not arrested Sagar Shewale and his uncle but they have been charged under Section 125 of BNS (negligence), and under Section 24 of the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007, because they abandoned the elderly woman.
