Indian-Origin Doctor Who Drove Family Off Cliff Cleared by US Court | Firstpost America | N18G

Dr Dharmesh Patel, a California radiologist, had three counts of attempted murder dismissed this week after completing a court-ordered two-year mental health diversion programme. In January 2023, he drove his Tesla off Devil’s Slide — a 300-foot cliff on Highway 1 — with his wife and two young children inside. All four survived.

The case has reignited debate about when mental health treatment should replace criminal prosecution for violent offences.
