Kolkata Horror | Surprising, Postmortem Precedes Registration of Unnatural Death: SC Raps Bengal Gov

Kolkata: The Supreme Court continues to grill Mamata Banerjee's government over the timeline of postmortem and the registration of the crime as an unnatural death (UD) in the Kolkata rape and murder case.The Bench led by CJI DY Chandrchud observed, 'If it's not a case of unnatural death, then why was it taken for postmortem.'When the CJI asked when the postmortem was done, Senior Advocate Sibal stated that it started at 18: 10 pm and and ended at 19:10.However, the top court further noticed that the case of UD (unnatural death case) was registered at 23:30 pm.The UD case was registered at Thala police station at 23:30 hour and FIR was registered at 23:40 hour."It's very surprising postmortem precedes the registration of UD. If this is the fact then there is something dangerous," the bench observed. This comes as CJI DY Chandrachud debunked the reports of finding semen inside the body of the victim's doctor. After one of the counsel mentioned reports related to the post-mortem over some grams of semen, the CJI asked them not to refer to social media to make submissions in court. He said, "Don't read what is there on the social media."After reviewing the CBI findings of the ongoing probe in Kolkata trainee Doctor rape and murder, Supreme Court Judge, Justice Padriwala expressed extreme shock. While hearing the case in the top court on Thursday, Justice J.B Padriwala said, "I have never seen such a case in 30 years."Justice slammed Mamata Banerjee-led West Bengal government and Kolkata police regarding timings of post-mortem and recording the unnatural deaths. "I have never encountered such a procedure in my entire career as a lawyer or judge," he said.
