Vishal and Kiran were subjected to a medical examination. Vishal was found to be suffering from allergies,” said S Bendre, investigation officer from Mumbra police station.
Akash stood guard at the clinic door so he could alert his friends if any patients showed up, said the police. Akash had also partially pulled down the clinic’s shutters.
