Representative Image
BAREILLY: A pharmacist at a community health centre (CHC) in UP's Sambhal has been suspended for tampering with the autopsy report of a 17-year-old girl, who was allegedly hanged from the ceiling by her father and brother on May 27 as they did not approve of her relationship with a local man, reports Kanwardeep Singh.
Pharmacist Madhur Arya, posted at CHC in Bahjoi of Sambhal district, took a bribe of Rs 50,000 from the alleged killers to mention the cause of death as "hanging", instead of "strangulation".
The services of a contract worker, a computer operator, at the post-mortem house, Yash Sharma, have also been terminated for being an accomplice in the crime.
The girl was found hanging in her house at Haimadpur village under Rajpura police station in Sambhal district.
Investigation revealed that her father, Chandrakesh and brother Dharmendra first strangled her to death and then hung the body, police said. Not stopping at that, the accused attempted to frame four people, including the girl's lover, in the case to mislead police.
SP Krishan Kumar Bishnoi said it was a case of "honour killing" and added that the girl's father, her brother, their relative Jai Prakash, along with the pharmacist and the computer operator have been arrested.
Additional SP Anukriti Sharma said, "We are verifying the chat history of the pharmacist with the other staff, including the doctor in charge of the CHC. Necessary action will be taken after the probe."
Chief medical officer Dr Tarun Pathak said on Friday, "Both the employees were sent to jail under the Prevention of Corruption Act. A departmental inquiry has been ordered against the pharmacist. Further action will be taken once the investigation report is received."

Kavya Maran- File image Bad news for Sunrisers Hyderabad fans: In a matter of bad news for the fans of Sunrisers Hyderabad and Hyderabad CEO Kavya Maran, Kavya's father and owner of South India's big media company Sun Network, Kalanidhi Maran has been accused of money laundering. As per a PTI report, DMK Lok Sabha MP Dayanidhi Maran has accused his brother Kalanidhi Maran of 'financial crimes,' and asked him to restore the entire shareholding position of Sun TV and related companies to their original state or face legal and regulatory action.' The main dispute is regarding the shareholding of the Sun Network, which was equally split between the Maran and Karunanidhi families before 2003. As per the allegations, the company funds were misused to launch ventures like Sun Direct TV, Sun Pictures, an FM channel, and IPL team Sunrisers Hyderabad after 2003. Kalanidhi Maran accused of 'financial crimes' In the notice, Dayanidhi Maran has accused Kalanithi of committing 'fraudulent practices' and 'misgovernance' during the takeover of Sun TV. As per media reports, Dayanidhi Maran has alleged that his brother was involved in a series of 'calculated and coordinated financial crimes' including cheating and money laundering. If the allegations are proved, BCCI may take actions strict against Kavya Maran and her IPL team. 'White-collar criminality' Such acts amount to white-collar criminality of the highest order and have caused irreparable loss to the legitimate stakeholders of the companies in question, Dayanidhi alleged in the notice. Meanwhile, Sun TV said 'the alleged matter dates back to 22 years when the company was a closely held private limited company.' Following this development, Sun TV's stock fell as much as 5.25 per cent to Rs 580 in early trade on Friday. However, it later trimmed some losses to trade 3.41 per cent lower at Rs 591. Kalanithi Maran currently holds a 75 per cent stake in the company, which has a market capitalisation of Rs 24,124 crore. About Sun TV Network Sun TV Network runs television channels in seven languages including Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, and Bengali. It also operates FM radio stations across India and owns the IPL team Sunrisers Hyderabad and the Sunrisers Eastern Cape in South Africa's T20 league. (With inputs from agencies)
