NAGPUR: he Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) forensic team attributed the 60-year-old’s death to heart failure caused by a heavily blocked right coronary artery. However, this finding conveniently ignores any connection to the hazardous conditions at the tragedy site. The report notes no apparent entry or exit wounds, but top experts point out a major loophole. When electrocution occurs in water, the skin layer does not show typical burns or wounds, rendering the absence of such injuries inconclusive at best. Sources revealed the forensic examination was hurried, with skin samples preserved for later histopathology tests.Crucially, GMCH team admitted to TOI their opinion may differ if the electrical inspector’s report is submitted and queries are raised. Now, with the damning report submitted to the NMC commissioner, will the GMCH team rectify its autopsy report?Sakkardara police, already under scrutiny, seem determined to close the case as accidental death despite mounting red flags. Police sources defensively argued that if the pit water was live, others in the area would also have been affected. However, this claim rings hollow given that an MSEDCL team reached immediately after the incident, potentially neutralizing the danger before others arrived.This sequence of events — absence of timely electrical inspection, premature forensic conclusions without supporting inputs, and police’s eagerness to treat it as a medical emergency — has raised big questions on transparency of probe.
