10 Dec 2013 12:00 AM GMT
The parents of a tribal MBBS student, who had allegedly committed suicide in the AIIMS campus three years ago, on Monday approached the Delhi High Court seeking a CBI probe into their son’s death.
Gulab Chand Ahirwal and his wife Shanti Devi, hailing from Madhya Pradesh, filed a petition contending that the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) has failed to conduct a proper inquiry into the death of their son Balmukund Bharati on March 3, 2010 and sought a CBI probe into his untimely death. They also sought a court’s direction to government and AIIMS management seeking financial compensation for their 24 year-old son’s death.
In the plea, the parents said, ‘Respondent AIIMS and other authorities have failed to properly investigate the exact reason for the death and they have also failed to pay any compensation till date for untimely and unnatural demise of Balmukund.’
They alleged that ‘organised caste discrimination is rampant in the AIIMS which is within the knowledge of AIIMS administration and the authorities have not taken any steps.’
