Dinesh Kumar lived in Toronto and it had only been 2 years that he and his family had immigrated from India. He came to Toronto with his wife and son and later on the couple had another baby boy named Gaurov.  The family lived happily until....

Gaurov had stopped breathing around a month after his birth. On March 18, 1992, Dinesh and his wife Veena found their one month old baby unable to breath and quickly called up Veena's brother. They were advised to call 911 and in the meantime Dinesh attempted CPR on the infant which was of no effect. It was already too late when Gaurov was taken to the hospital. Doctors found that Gaurov had "irreversible brain damage". Charles Smith , Pathologist at the time, also concluded that Gaurov was killed by being violently shaken (Shaken Baby Syndrome).

Charles Smith was a very honoured pathologist. That is why when Charles Smith spoke in the court, everyone believed it and there were no objections. This was a huge factor leading to Dinesh's conviction. Another factor was when Dinesh mentioned in the hospital that something similar had happened to his older son, Sourab, before as well but he was able to save him with mouth-to-mouth. This made the doctors think that maybe Dinesh was the cause of Gaurov's death.  Dinesh was accused for a crime he did not commit and was incarcerated.

Here is an image of Dinesh Kumar showing a picture of Gaurov. He stated that he was going to keep Gaurov's picture in his wallet for the rest of his life. “It’s always with me until I die,” said Dinesh referring to the photo in his wallet.

Before being incarcerated, Dinesh was offered a Plea Bargain. His lawyer and his family advised him to accept it because he will most likely lose against the research of Charles Smith and he did not want to stay away from his family. He also knew that if he did not accept the plea bargain, his family would go through a financial crisis, as he was the source of income for his family. Dinesh unwillingly accepted the plea bargain.

Although, Dinesh accepted the plea bargain and his punishment was significantly shortened, there were still a lot of losses for the family. First of all, the depression he must've had to endure for accepting the murder of his own son. Secondly, even after the plea bargain, Dinesh still had to spend around 3 months in jail. This meant away from his family, loss of income, and loss of trust in the justice system.  He was so afraid of the system that the couple decided never to have kids again. Even after the sentence was over, people would point fingers at him saying he's the one who murdered his own kid. His reputation was destroyed.

Around two decades later it was found that Charles Smith, the well known pathologist, was actually wrong in most of his research. His lack of research and inappropriate interpretations caused many innocent lives to be wrongfully convicted. At this time, Dinesh decided to reopen his case and was proven innocent. Below is a photograph of Dinesh and his wife, Veena when they had decided to reopen their case. In this image you can see that Veena always supported her husband even when the world believed he was guilty,

Provided is the wikipedia link that goes into detail about Charles Smith's history and all the victims of his bad quality autopsies.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Charles Randal Smith is a disgraced former Canadian pathologist who was the head pediatric forensic pathologist at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Ontario, from 1982 to 2003.

Although there is no money amount that could make everything the same as before, Dinesh was not awarded any compensation. Dinesh and Veena were so happy with just the fact that Dinesh was proved innocent that they did not even care about the money. Dinesh states that he is eagerly waiting for the letter so he can post it in his local temple to show people that he is not guilty. Below is a more detailed article that provides all the information on how Dinesh Kumar was incarcerated, Charles Smith's false testimonies, and information about the plea bargain offered to Dinesh Kumar.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Dinesh Kumar immigrated to Canada from India with his wife, Veena, and their son, Saurob, in 1991. Their second child, also a son, was born on February 11, 1992. They named him Gaurov. Unfortunately, Veena had a seizure on the day of Gaurov's birth and was diagnosed with a brain tumour.

Although Dinesh and his family were happy and had no more worries, there were many people that were still unsatisfied. They wanted Charles Smith to be charged for ruining so many lives of innocent people. Here is a link to a video of other wrongly accused victims that are unable to forgive Charles Smith:

Disgraced pathologist Charles Smith was stripped of his medical licence after pleading "no contest" to charges of disgraceful conduct at a disciplinary hearing on Tuesday.

Smith, whose misguided court testimony has sent several innocent people to jail, admitted to unprofessional and incompetent acts during a hearing by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario.

He did not appear in court, making the admission through his lawyer.

"Dr. Smith will be pleading no contest," said his lawyer, Jane Langford. "The statement (of facts) will be filed on consent."

The disciplinary panel chose to revoke Smith's licence on Tuesday and ordered him to appear in person for a reprimand.

Smith has not practised medicine since August 2008, when his registration expired.

Once considered the dean of pediatric forensic pathology in Canada, Smith's expert evidence on baby and child deaths has led to the prosecution of more than a dozen people over the years.

Five of those cases have since been reopened and had the charges dropped. Another half-dozen appeals are pending.

Smith's career began to unravel in 2005, when Ontario's chief coroner ordered a review of 44 autopsies Smith had conducted. The review determined that Smith had made errors in 20 child autopsies, 13 of them resulting in criminal charges.

Justice Stephen Goudge issued a damning 1,000-page report into Smith's work in 2008. Smith told a public inquiry at that time that his errors were not intentional.

The case of William Mullins-Johnson is among the most high-profile convictions to be overturned based on Smith's faulty testimony.

Mullins-Johnson was exonerated after spending 12 years in jail for the rape and murder of his four-year-old niece. Smith apologized to Mullins-Johnson and the Ontario government later paid him $4.25 million in compensation.

"I'm still humiliated by the fact that I will never see justice done," Mullins-Johnson wrote in his victim impact statement read during the hearing Tuesday.

"He was allowed to continue his reign of terror even after complaints were registered."

Carolyn Silver, speaking for the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario, said Smith failed in "multiple cases" to gather "relevant information."

"Dr. Smith expressed opinions ... that were either contrary to, or not supported by, the evidence," Silver told the hearing Tuesday.

An agreed statement of facts read to the hearing said that Smith blamed others for his mistakes, exaggerated his experience and offered opinions outside his expertise.

His opinions were described as "overly dogmatic" and "speculative," and the evidence he provided was considered "misleading."
