Fresh autopsies in Badaun rape case

CBI feels that proper procedure was not followed while conducting the postmortem

New Delhi: In a new twist to the alleged rape and murder of two girls in Badaun in Uttar Pradesh, CBI has decided to exhume the bodies of the victims for a fresh autopsy as the probe agency feels that proper procedure was not followed while conducting the postmortem.

Highly-placed sources in the agency said the first post- mortem was conducted at night, which is usually against laid down procedures.

Ahead of exhuming, the CBI will constitute a medical board after which the agency will move a local court for a direction for exhuming the bodies of the two girls for a fresh postmortem. The move comes after the autopsy report of the state government was only suggestive of rape without conclusively proving it. The post-mortem was conducted by a lady doctor who had no prior experience of it, said the sources.
