RNT Doctor Death Case: Postmortem discrepancies trigger hunger strike by Resident Doctors

Following the tragic death of Dr Ravi Sharma at the postgraduate hostel of Ravindranath Tagore (RNT) Medical College, Udaipur, resident doctors have escalated their protests, demanding justice, accountability, and announcing a hunger strike. This comes after a serious discrepancy between two postmortem reports surfaced, raising concerns about a possible cover-up on the matter.

Two separate postmortems were conducted - one by a team from RNT Medical College and another by SMS Medical College in Jaipur - both revealed different conclusions. The first postmortem, carried out by a team at RNT Medical College, noted only superficial injuries. The report mentioned marks of abrasions on Dr. Ravi Sharma’s body and an injury on the back of his head “caused by electric shock,” but did not clearly state electrocution as the cause of death. Investigators collected a sample of normal skin and sent it to the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) for analysis.
