​Mumbai: The Bombay High Court has directed the Maharashtra government to conduct an inquiry into the recovery of 19 aborted foetuses in Sangli district recently. A bench headed by Chief Justice Manjula Chellur while hearing a PIL on Thursday ordered the state government's public health department to hold an inquiry. It also asked the state government to submit a report.

The bench was hearing a PIL filed by Atul Bhosale, a Pune resident, alleging that nursing homes in the city were not registered and that fake degrees were obtained by medical practioners. However, during the hearing of the petition, HC extended the scope of the PIL to cover entire Maharashtra. The bench took cognizance of reports about 19 aborted foetuses having been found near a stream recently at a village in Maharashtra's Sangli district.
