Mohammed Akhef reports:

AURANGABAD: A laptop worth Rs 15,000 was stolen from a doctor’s office in the Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) between 1.30 pm and 2.30 pm on Tuesday.

So he complained to the police. Okay. Was any patient data on the laptop? And if so, why was the laptop left on his desk that way? The GMCH Principal Director did not immediately respond to an inquiry about whether patient data were on the laptop.  Hopefully, there was none.
