Earlier this month, Subhash Patil finished a one-year unavoidable internship for getting the MBBS degree.
Police took Subhash in custody in 2002 in a murder case when he was in his third year of MBBS. A court passed a judgement sentencing him to life imprisonment in 2006.
He was jailed but he did not abandon his childhood ambition of becoming a doctor. In 2016, Subhash was released on Independence day for his good behaviour.
