The assistant superintendent of police Rakesh Kumar Sagar said that the doctors would decide if the 58-year-old inspector’s treatment can be continued in MP or he needs to be brought to Mumbai.

“Since the treatment will be paid through police funds, we will have to take approvals first. Jogawat has not undergone any tests as of now,” said Sagar, while talking to HT.
