Pharmacist fudges autopsy report
Representative Image BAREILLY: A pharmacist at a community health centre (CHC) in UP's Sambhal has been suspended for tampering with the autopsy report of a 17-year-old girl, who was allegedly hanged from the ceiling by her father and brother on May 27 as they did not approve of her relationship with a local man, reports Kanwardeep Singh. Pharmacist Madhur Arya, posted at CHC in Bahjoi of Sambhal district, took a bribe of Rs 50,000 from the alleged killers to mention the cause of death as "hanging", instead of "strangulation". The services of a contract worker, a computer operator, at the post-mortem house, Yash Sharma, have also been terminated for being an accomplice in the crime. The girl was found hanging in her house at Haimadpur village under Rajpura police station in Sambhal district. Investigation revealed that her father, Chandrakesh and brother Dharmendra first strangled her to death and then hung the body, police said. Not stopping at that, the accused attempted to frame four people, including the girl's lover, in the case to mislead police. SP Krishan Kumar Bishnoi said it was a case of "honour killing" and added that the girl's father, her brother, their relative Jai Prakash, along with the pharmacist and the computer operator have been arrested. Additional SP Anukriti Sharma said, "We are verifying the chat history of the pharmacist with the other staff, including the doctor in charge of the CHC. Necessary action will be taken after the probe." Chief medical officer Dr Tarun Pathak said on Friday, "Both the employees were sent to jail under the Prevention of Corruption Act. A departmental inquiry has been ordered against the pharmacist. Further action will be taken once the investigation report is received."
