Vyapam: Namrata Damor was murdered, says doctor who conducted autopsy
Bhopal, July 8 (IBNS): Amid several controversies surrounding the Vyapam scam, a fresh cover up has surfaced regarding a 19-year-old medical student, whose death three years ago was dismissed as a suicide by the police two years after an autopsy report suggested she was strangled, said reports on Wednesday.
BB Purohit, a doctor who was part of the team that performed the autopsy on Namrata Damor, said she was murdered.
"There is not even one percent chance of a natural death," he was quoted as saying by media reports.
The death has been brought back into focus after a TV journalist died last weekend minutes after interviewing her father.
Namrata was found dead on railway tracks in Ujjain in January, 2012.
The police filed a closure report in 2014 where they termed the death as a suicide.
It contradicted the autopsy report by three doctors, which said Namrata died because of "violent asphyxia as a result of smothering" and the findings suggested "homicidal" death, said reports.
"We three doctors were part of the panel who conducted the post mortem have over 25yrs of experience. There were bruises on the nose and mouth of the woman which indicated she was strangled," Dr Purohit told NDTV.
However, two years later the death was termed as suicide by the police.
Namrata, a second year medical student, was allegedly among the candidates who cleared the medical entrance test through unfair means.
The multi-crore scam in Madhya Pradesh has sent a shockwave across the country more because of a series of mysterious deaths related to it.
The scam involves a racket indulging in bribery and impersonation to arrange goverment services and admission to colleges.
Several high profile people, including Madhya Pradesh Governor Ram Naresh Yadav face the charge of being involved in the scam which becomes murkier with the death of about 48 people- all connected to the scam and its investigation in one way or the other- over the last two years.
All the deaths are premature and most of them took place under mysterious circumstances.
