TV9 News: Woman Found Mysteriously Dead in Nithyanand Ashram: Body Exhumed, Re-Postmortem Done.....,

A re-postmortem was conducted here on Wednesday on the body of A. Sangeetha (24) of Tiruchi who died under mysterious circumstances at the Nityananda Dhyanapeetam in Bidadi near Bengaluru recently.

The body was exhumed from the cremation ground at Navalur Kuttapattu in the city’s outskirts in the presence of Sangeetha’s father, a police team from Karnataka, revenue officials and local police.

The exhumation and re-post mortem was done as demanded by parents of Sangeetha who suspected foul play in their daughter’s death, although the ashram authorities had claimed that the woman had died of cardiac arrest.

The parents of Sangeetha had petitioned the Superintendent of Police of Ramanagaram district in Karnataka in this regard a few days ago. A police team from Karnataka arrived at Tiruchi on Tuesday and made a formal request for exhuming the body. Upon getting approval from the district authorities, the body was exhumed on Wednesday afternoon from the cremation ground where a re-postmortem was done by two doctors of the Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Government Hospital.

The exercise went on for over an hour, police sources said, adding that the viscera samples were taken from the body and sent for laboratory tests. Sangeetha who had been working in the ashram for four years died a few days ago.
