In a rare gesture, actor Paresh Rawal has apologised to suspended Gorakhpur doctor Kafeel Khan for his derogatory tweet, made two years ago.
Rawal had called Kafeel a “hero in the eyes of the ever active termite clan” in a tweet soon after the BRD Medical College tragedy in Gorakhpur that led to the death of over 60 children due to lack of oxygen supply in August 2017.
Kafeel Khan was subsequently suspended and also arrested for alleged negligence and corruption that led to the tragedy.

However, he was recently absolved of the charges in a departmental inquiry
Paresh Rawal apologised to him on Twitter on Wednesday. “There is no shame in apologising when one is wrong…I apologise to Dr Kafeel Khan,” the actor tweeted.
