Teenaged girl murdered, reveals fresh post mortem

Lakhimpur (PTI) - A fresh post mortem on a
14-year-old girl, who was found hanging inside a police
station here in the north Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, on
Monday confirmed she was murdered but could not arrive at the
conclusion whether she was raped even as the Mayawati
government ordered a CB-CID probe into the incident.
The second post mortem was performed by a panel of
doctors from Lucknow after the body of the girl was exhumed
from Nighasan town here.
Divisional Commissioner, Lucknow, Prashant Trivedi and
IGP Subesh Kumar told a press conference here that the girl
was strangulated and had not died due to asphyxia, caused by
the hanging, as mentioned in the first report.
After the incident sparked an outrage, the state
government rejected the earlier autopsy report and ordered a
new post mortem by a panel of doctors from other districts.
Trivedi said suspension of the three doctors who had
conducted the first post mortem had been recommended.
An FIR had been lodged against a sub-inspector and two
policemen for allegedly tampering with evidence.
Missing since Friday evening, the girl was found
hanging from a tree inside the premises of Nighasan Police
Station.
The victim's mother in her complaint had alleged that
her daughter was raped and murdered.

asked to submit its report within a week, visited the scene
of the incident.
The team, led by SP Shriprakash Tripathi, examined
records at the police station and recorded statements of the
girl's family.
Eleven policemen posted at Nighasan Police Station had
been suspended after the girl's body was found.
Condemning the incident as "shocking and barbaric",
opposition parties said the law and order had deteriorated in
the state.
