Nido Tania died allegedly after being beaten by shopkeepers at a south Delhi market
The Delhi Police is likely to submit the toxicology report of Nido Tania - the student from Arunachal Pradesh who died allegedly after being beaten by shopkeepers at a South Delhi market - to the Delhi High Court today.
Lawyers representing the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) and Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) will also appear in court with statistics and figures explaining the delay in completing the toxicology reports.
The high court had come down heavily on AIIMS doctors and the forensic team for not placing the report before the court during the last hearing on Friday.
The Delhi Police had told the court on Friday that their investigation was complete but a final autopsy report, which includes the toxicology assessment, would fill all the gaps. Asked why it had come without the reports for the second time in a week, the police cited a "backlog of cases" with the CFSL.
The 20-year-old student died on January 30, hours after he was beaten by shopkeepers at Delhi's Lajpat Nagar market, in what his friends describe as a racist attack. There is no medical proof yet that the young man died of his injuries from the beating, though his family alleges it.
