Speaking to ANI, Patil said, “I joined MBBS in 1997. But, I was jailed in a murder case in 2002. I worked at the jail’s OPD and was released in 2016 for good conduct. I completed my MBBS in 2019.”

Earlier this month, Patil completed a one-year mandatory internship for getting the MBBS course degree.
