Vyapam: CBI to examine docs who gave Damore death reports
20 Aug 2015 7:11 AM IST
CBI sources said the agency will soon call Dr B B Purohit who did the first <g data-gr-id="38">post mortem</g> on Damore, whose body was found on railway tracks at <g data-gr-id="37">Bherupura</g> crossing in Ujjain, suggesting her death was a result of "violent asphyxia as a result of smothering" suggesting murder. The agency is now focussing on the contradictory report given by D S <g data-gr-id="40">Barhkur</g>, Director of medico-legal institute, Bhopal, who had rubbished the post-mortem report finalised by a three-doctor panel led by Purohit, a post-graduate in forensic medicine, the sources said.
<g data-gr-id="41">Barkhur</g> suggested that Damore might have committed suicide and was alive before she jumped on the tracks to end her life. Barkhur's findings were based on the visit to <g data-gr-id="32">crime</g> scene and snaps taken by him besides calculation of <g data-gr-id="33">speed</g> of train and place where the body was first found. Barkhur's findings were relied on by the police investigation team which closed the case saying it was a suicide.
Now CBI has decided to call both the experts to know the reasons behind their findings besides verifying the findings again with the help of CFSL experts, the sources said.
They said statements and reports given by both <g data-gr-id="20">set</g> of experts will be verified as there are <g data-gr-id="21">lot</g> of loopholes in the theories built around their reports. Sources said the agency will also examine the police team which chose to overrule the post-mortem report suggestive of homicide to know the reasons for the same. Meanwhile, the agency registered seven more FIRs in connection with the Vyapam scam.
The first case is against five persons relating to allegations of cheating by impersonation in Constable Recruitment Examination, 2013, while the second case is against three persons relating to allegations of cheating by impersonation in the examination, third against 20 persons relating to allegations of cheating by forgery in exam, CBI spokesperson said.
Congress ruining image of Madhya Pradesh: Chouhan
Asserting that his hands are clean in the Vyapam scam, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Wednesday accused Congress of ruining the state's image by mounting a campaign of false allegations to secure its selfish interests, which he said the people rejected <g data-gr-id="114">ourtright</g> as is evident from the BJP's clean sweep in civic polls. "Right now I am disturbed that MP's reputation has been tarnished nationwide and globally over the Vyapam scam by the Congress for selfish political motives," Chouhan told in an interview to PTI. Charging the Congress with mounting a propaganda of false allegations by linking the deaths to the scam, he said, "Congress tried to create an atmosphere of distrust in the entire country which resulted in sullying the state's image."
