Postmortem examination of the exhumed remains of a stillborn baby will be carried out Monday to ascertain the exact cause of death with the family alleging that some Rajasthan Police personnel assaulted a pregnant woman, who is the wife of an accused in the alleged abduction and murder of two men by cow vigilantes in Haryana.

Dulari Devi, the mother of the accused, in the Rajasthan Police FIR has alleged that her daughter-in-law lost the baby after she was assaulted.

The Rajasthan Police has denied the allegation of the woman.

Her son, Srikant Pandit, is an accused in the case of abduction and murder of two men by cow vigilantes. Pandit is a member of the cow protection group led by local Bajrang Dal leader Monu Manesar.

Pandit's mother, in her complaint had also alleged that the police forcibly took away her two other sons.

"We have exhumed the body of a stillborn baby today and kept it in the mortuary. Postmortem will be conducted by Monday by a board of doctors," Varun Singla, Superintendent of Police of Nuh, told PTI.

Earlier, Bharatpur SP Shyam Singh had claimed that Rajasthan and Haryana police personnel had indeed gone to Pandit's home, but they never entered it.

Pandit was among the five men booked for allegedly abducting and killing the two men whose charred bodies were found in Loharu in Haryana's Bhiwani on Thursday. The two victims, Junaid and Nasir, were alleged to have been abducted from Rajasthan's Bharatpur.
