So far, the police have recovered 19 foetuses, of which most were in a highly decomposed state. DNA samples of eight have been sent to Pune for testing, the reports of which are awaited. Sandeep aka Johnty, who did odd jobs at the Bharti Hospital, as well as Ravi Sutar, the milkman, have provided vital clues about the happenings at the hospital to the cops and have now turned witnesses. "We know that the illegal abortions were being carried out for the past two to three years from the evidence gathered so far," said Dattatraya Shinde, SP, Sangli. When members of the Opposition questioned him, Savant said he would be visiting Sangli on Wednesday and would apprise the House on Thursday.
