The Sachan death case took a new turn today with the family of the top medical officer refusing to cremate him, demanding a CBI probe which was rejected by the Mayawati government.
After the post mortem revealed that there were nine injuries on the body of deputy chief medical officer Y S Sachan, his family dismissed the suicide theory projected by the police and demanded that a case of murder be lodged and a CBI inquiry ordered.
"There is no need for the CBI probe. This has been informed to you (media) yesterday also by the Cabinet Secretary", Principal Secretary Home, Kunwar Fateh Bahadur told reporters here when asked about it.
52-year-old Sachan was found dead under mysterious circumstances in the toilet of the Lucknow jail hospital.
In the autopsy, injury marks were detected on the neck, elbows, thigh and left wrist besides a strangulation mark on the neck.
"The postmortem report clearly indicates that it's a clear-cut case of murder," Sachan's brother R K Sachan said while pressing for a CBI probe in the case.
He said excessive bleeding has been mentioned as the cause of death in the autopsy report which indicates murder.
"Hanging cannot be caused by a belt. A doctor cannot inflict so many injuries on his own body as slitting one vein is sufficient to cause death," he said.
"It is clear that first he was killed and later his body was dragged to the first floor and the incident was made to look as suicide," he said.
