Lucknow:
The wife of former Deputy Chief Medical Officer (CMO) of Uttar Pradesh, YS Sachan, today filed a protest application in a local court against the closure report filed by CBI in the case.
Malti Sachan filed the application in the court of Special Judicial Magistrate (CBI) Neelkant Mani Tripathi demanding the report be rejected. The court has fixed October 16 as the next date of hearing.
The CBI had, on September 28, filed its closure report in the Sachan murder case in the court saying conclusive evidence points to suicide. The court has issued notice to the complainant Mrs Sachan for filing her protest on the closure report.
The closure report said that during the investigation no evidence has come on record indicating death of Dr Sachan in jail on June 22, 2011, to be a homicide. Further, no evidence pointing towards presence of a second person in the toilet at first floor of jail hospital has come forth during the investigation, it said.
The evidence collected during investigation, including statements of witnesses and expert opinions all indicate that Dr Sachan had committed suicide, it said.
The opinion of the AIIMS doctors said that the cause of death in case of Sachan was due to hanging associated with multiple suicidal wounds in support by the oral as well as documentary evidences, which came on record during probe, the closure report said.
In its 120-page closure report, CBI said evidence had come on record regarding acts of omission and commission on part of the then warden Pahendra Singh and head warden Baburam Dubey for failing to do actual head count of inmates and to maintain correct entries.
