Exhume body, conduct fresh autopsy: Allahabad HC on U.P. custodial death
The Hindu
Court orders the body to be immediately sent to AIIMS Delhi
The Allahabad High Court has directed the Uttar Pradesh administration to exhume the body of a Muslim boy who died in police custody in Kasganj and carry out a fresh postmortem of the body at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Delhi.
The court passed the directions after Chand Miyan, the father of Altaf, prayed that he was not satisfied with the postmortem that was conducted after his son died in police custody. Mr. Miyan had requested that his son’s body be exhumed and that a fresh postmortem be conducted on the body, preferably at AIIMS, Delhi. Mr. Miyan insisted that the autopsy be conducted outside U.P. because of the alleged involvement of the State police.
