Emotional Autopsy: Kolkata Court asks MCI, State Medical Council to review doctors findings
Advertisement
Kolkata: In a one of its kind direction, a city court recently asked the copies of the autopsy report of a budding Indian Airforce Officer (IAF) to be given to the Medical Council of India (MCI) and West Bengal Medical Council (WBMC) for review. The IAF died after a car plunged him during his parade rehearsal in January 2016.
This comes after the court found that an autopsy report given by the doctor concerned too emotional and noted that the doctors had gone beyond professional ethics to make certain comments that do not comprise a post mortem. The judge further added that the doctor was influenced by emotions in his report to establish the murder charge against the accused and not from actual findings.
A detective department sleuth explained that the doctor in question had carried out several crucial post-mortems in the past but this was the first time that he has been pulled up. Senior lawyers and advocates couldn't recall another case where copies of judgment have been sent to the MCI.
The case concerns Corporal Abhimanyu Gaud, 21, a part of an Air Force contingent who was a participant in the morning rehearsals on January 13 2016. During the rehearsals in Kidderpore Road near the Army's Eastern Command headquarters at Fort William in the city, an Audi Q7 SUV smashed two barricades and crashed Gaud to death.
