According to the medico-legal case, Kadam suffered minor internal injuries. “We have received the MLC report from Sassoon General Hospital stating that Kadam has sustained minor internal injuries in the incident.

As of now, we have not registered any complaint against the horse-and-carriage owner,” police said. Kadam was discharged from the private hospital on Saturday evening, while the horse suffered minor bruises.
