Nation at 9: Stung by docs, top cop dilutes report in Sunanda Pushkar's case
- 5 years ago
The fresh report submitted to the police by AIIMS doctors on the reasons for the death of Sunanda Pushkar is "inconclusive", according to Delhi Police and it may now go for advance forensic tests.
Delhi Police Commissioner B S Bassi also dismissed suggestions that police had been lax in collecting evidence and that the probe should be handed over to CBI, asserting that the force was "competent" to handle the case.
"The forensic report is inconclusive. The status of our inquest is pending," Bassi said today.
"The first thing I would like to tell you is that we still do not have a conclusive forensic report on the basis of which we can reach on any conclusion. As far as police is concerned our inquest is pending.Whenever we will reach on any conclusion, when we get complete forensic evidence, conclusive evidence, then we will draw conclusion and then we will be able to share any information with you," the Delhi police chief told reporters here.
The 12-page "Subsequent Medical Board Opinion", submitted to police on September 30 by a panel of AIIMS doctors, said that the medical board had again concluded like it did in its first report that her brain, kidney, lungs and liver were functioning normally and that her death was caused by poisoning.
