GUWAHATI, Feb 4: CID has filed a supplementary charge sheet in Dhula PS Case No 114/2022 U/S 120B R/W Sec 201/218/409 IPC against Dr Arun Ch Deka, Dr Ajanta Bordoloi, Dr Anupam Sharma and Ashirbad Hazarika, magistrate, in the case pertaining to the death of a minor girl child, after obtaining sanction to prosecute them from the competent authority.
The charge sheet has been taken into cognizance by the Special Judge, Darrang. It may be recalled that CID had earlier filed charge sheet against the main accused Krishna Kamal Baruah U/S 354/354(A)/ 302/201 and 511 R/W 376 IPC, R/W Sec 10 of the POCSO Act.
All the three doctors, the magistrate and Krishna Kamal Baruah have already been arrested in this case. Investigation conducted by CID has revealed that the magistrate Ashirbad Hazarika has not conducted any inquest at the place of occurrence and has not at all seen the dead body of the victim in hanging position. Instead, he dishonestly and wrongfully created the inquest report by breaching the trust reposed on him. He stated that he had seen the victim in a hanging position and declared that the death was due to hanging without conducting any enquiry and had willfully omitted the description of the nature of the ligature mark in the report in order to save the accused.
The three doctors who conducted the first post mortem have conspired to save the accused and have dishonestly and wrongly created the 1st post mortem report by breaching the trust reposed on them and concluded that the death was due to hanging and that there was no evidence of any sexual assault.
However, the panel of forensic experts as well as the 2nd post mortem conducted by another set of doctors have clearly brought out the injuries on the body of the victim and opined that the death was due to ante-mortem strangulation with a coir like rope and homicidal in nature. The other two cases registered against the police officers under the Prevention of Corruption Act are under investigation.
