Sachan's family moves SC, seeks CBI probe into his death
New Delhi, Jul 7 (PTI) Family members of Uttar
Pradesh's Deputy Chief Medical Officer Y S Sachan on Thursday
moved the Indian Supreme Court for a CBI probe into his
mysterious death inside the Lucknow jail.
An advocate, appearing for the Sachan's family,
apprised the bench of justices Altamas Kabir and Cyriac Joseph
about a petition filed in the court's registry and sought its
urgent hearing.
The bench, however, asked the advocate to tell the
registry to slate the petition for proper hearing.
Arrested for his alleged role in the murder of Lucknow
CMO B P Singh, purportedly to suppress a scam involving
financial irregularities and embezzlement of National Rural
Health Mission funds, Sachan was found dead inside the toilet
of Lucknow district jail hospital on June 22 night under
mysterious circumstances.
The Uttar Pradesh government has ordered a judicial
probe into the incident.
The police had said that following his arrest, Sachan
was admitted to the jail hospital for treatment of general
ailment and had undergone angiography but he committed
suicide.
His death came a day before a court was to take up the
police plea for his remand and those of three others.
Sachan was named in the CMO murder case as main
accused by police following the arrest of three persons by the
state's Special Task Force on June 17.
Singh was shot dead by unidentified persons on
April 2 morning, when he had gone out for a walk.
Sachan's name was also linked to the murder of another
CMO (Family Welfare) Vinod Kumar Arya who was shot dead in
October last year near his residence also during a morning
walk.
A Special Task Force had on June 17 arrested three
persons - Ram Krishna Verma, Anand Tewari and Vinod Sharma -
who had allegedly confessed to the crime and named Sachan as
the main conspirator.
Sachan was already in jail as preliminary inquiries
had pointed an accusing finger at him.
The Deputy CMO was arrested immediately after Singh's
murder when the investigating agencies detected swindling of
funds to the tune of several crore of rupees in the
implementation of the National Rural Health Mission in the
state. PTI AAC
