SRINAGAR: The government of Jammu and Kashmir has reportedly terminated two doctors for allegedly falsifying the post-mortem report of Asiya and Neelofar who died in 2009 in Shopian.
Quoting sources, KNT reported that, Dr Bilal Dalal and Dr Nighat Shaheen Chilloo have been terminated from their services by the government for distorting the post-mortem report of Aasiya and Neelofar.
Sources said that, “The government has accused Dr Nighat Shaheen of conspiring to defame, discredit and cause injury to the personnel of police and security forces and to get them wrongfully convicted for a capital offense by creating false reports.
“Dr Bilal Ahmad Dalal has been accused by CBI of wrongly mentioning the lacerated wound on the frontal portion of Asiya Jan’s head as an incised wound. It has also accused the doctor of falsely opining on the cause of death as hemorrhagic shock and bleeding from multiple injuries in the case of Asiya Jan and neurogenic shock in the case of Neelofar Jan,” they said.
“The ultimate aim of the duo was to create disaffection against the Indian state by falsely accusing the security forces of rape and murder. The investigation reveals that the top echelon of the then government knew about the facts, which was conveniently buried, while Kashmir burnt,” government sources further revealed.
Though sources confirmed the termination of Dr Bilal Ahmed Dalal and Dr Nighat Shaheen, however, there was so far no word from an official quarter in this regard.
Notably, Omar Abdullah-led government back in 2009 had suspended both these doctors who had conducted the two autopsies. Dr Nighat’s report indicated rape of both women and her findings were substantiated by a forensic report. However, shortcomings in the autopsy meant the cause of death could not be forensically established.
