Dr. Sushrut Ghaisas, who was entangled in accusations over the death of Tanisha Bhise, has been booked at Pune's Alankar Police Station under Section 106(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), informed Sunita Rokade, Senior Police Inspector, Alankar Police Station.

The section deals with causing death by negligence, not amounting to culpable homicide. This comes just two days after Pune police provided security to Dr. Ghaisas.

FIR had been lodged by sister in law of the deceased woman Akshaya Pate.
