AIIMS Doctors to Conduct Second Post-Mortem of Disha Accused
The telangana high court on saturday ordered another post-mortem examination of the bodies of the four accused in rape and murder of veterinarian Disha in Hyderabad. The accused were killed in a police encounter earlier this month. The court also instructed to complete the autopsy by 5 pm on december 23 (Monday) and ordered that the entire process must be video graphed.
The All india Institute Of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) has formed a team of three forensic doctors to conduct the second autopsy. The team will be led by Dr. Sudhir Gupta, head of forensic at AIIMS, with Dr. adarsh Kumar and Dr. abhishek Yadav as members. Dr. varun Chandra will assist the team in the post-mortem examination.
The bodies have been kept at gandhi Hospital as per an earlier order of the high court after pleas were filed alleging extra-judicial killing of the men and claiming it was a fake encounter. The doctors were advised to express an independent view on the basis of the evidence collected by them. The doctors at gandhi Hospital told the court that the bodies were more than 50% decomposed and should be disposed of immediately.
