Rotting corpse found in mortuary freezer

An investigation was ordered and a senior officer was removed from his post after the rotting corpse of an unidentified man was found infested with maggots inside a non-functioning freezer in the mortuary of a government-run hospital in Sagar district of Madhya Pradesh, reports said on Thursday.

According to officials, the staff at Civil Hospital of Bina town in Madhya Pradesh’s Sagar district allegedly stored an unclaimed body inside a defunct freezer in the mortuary, where it lay unattended for three days before the incident came to light on Tuesday, following which the block medical officer (BMO) was removed from his post and a show-cause notice was issued to him.

Sagar district administration said they took immediate action against erring officials after the matter came to the fore, adding that District Collector Deepak Arya has also formed a three-member committee to investigate the incident.

Giving details, Bina police station in-charge Kamal Nigwal on Wednesday said the body of an unidentified man was recovered by the police in Sagar district’s Uraiya village on the night of April 1 and was shifted to the mortuary of the government-run hospital where it was stored in the freezer after proper documentation and the concerned hospital staff being duly informed.

The officer said that the staff at the Civil Hospital, however, did not inform the police or the BMO Sanjeev Agarwal that the freezer wasn’t working.

Nigwal said the unclaimed body’s post mortem was delayed as the deceased could not be identified for three days.

BMO Agarwal told the media that the concerned employees did not tell him that the freezer was non-functional. He claimed that the body was not “fully rotten” but acknowledged that maggots had infested the corpse and were seen crawling on some of the body’s parts.

Agarwal said a post-mortem of the body was conducted on Tuesday after the matter came to light.

Meanwhile, Chief Medical and Health Officer Mamta Timori said that in the aftermath of the incident, Agarwal has been demoted from his BMO post and a show-cause notice has also been served to him.

District authorities said that they have taken cognizance of the issue and formed a three-member committee to probe the matter.

Delhi lieutenant governor Vinai Kumar Saxena today sought a detailed probe from Delhi Police commissioner Sanjay Arora in relation with the alleged defamatory social media post made by Congress’s Supriya Shrinate against actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut.

Reportedly, BJP candidate from New Delhi Bansuri Swaraj had given a complaint to the LG seeking probe and registration of an FIR against Shrinate for outraging the modesty of a woman. Subsequently, the Delhi LG has forwarded the complaint to the Delhi Police Commissioner, directing a scientific investigation in the matter and initiation of legal action, if necessary.

Reports said that the Delhi Police will also investigate who was behind the said social media post and whose mobile phone was used for the purpose. A major controversy erupted on Monday after an objectionable post from Supriya Shrinate’s social media handle against Kangana Ranaut, who has been announced as the BJP candidate from Himachal Pradesh’s Mandi.

Responding to the remarks, Kangana Ranaut said that they must free the daughters from the shackles of prejudices and must rise above the curiosity about their body parts. She added that people must refrain from using sex workers’ challenging lives or circumstances as some kind of abuse or slur. She concluded that every woman deserves her dignity. As the controversy intensified, the Congress leader asserted that someone else had posted the objectionable content from her handle. 

Meanwhile, the Election Commission on Wednesday issued a show cause notice to Congress leader Supriya Shrinate for her derogatory remarks against Kangana Ranaut. The Election Commission observed that the remarks are undignified and in a bad taste. The election body asked the Congress leader to respond to the commission by Friday. In the notice, the Election Commission stated that the statements made by the leader is prima facie violative of the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) being in force ahead of the Lok Sabha elections.

To browbeat, bully others is vintage Congress, says PM Modi after lawyers express concern over attempts to undermine judiciary

Lawyers, including Harish Salve and Bar Council chairperson Manan Kumar Mishra, wrote to CJI DY Chandrachud, alleging that a vested interest group is trying to put pressure on the judiciary and defame courts, particularly in cases of corruption involving politicians.

PM Narendra Modi on Thursday launched a scathing attack on the Congress party after more than 600 lawyers and some bar associations across the country wrote to the Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, expressing concerns over attempts to undermine the judiciary’s integrity using political and professional pressure.

Taking to social media platform X, PM Modi wrote that to browbeat and bully others is vintage Congress culture. He recalled that five decades ago, the party itself had called for a committed judiciary, adding that they shamelessly want commitment from others for their selfish interests, but desist from any commitment towards the nation. He concluded that no wonder, 140 crore Indians are rejecting them.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s comments followed after lawyers, including Harish Salve and Bar Council chairperson Manan Kumar Mishra, wrote to CJI DY Chandrachud, alleging that a vested interest group is trying to put pressure on the judiciary and defame courts, particularly in cases of corruption involving politicians.

The lawyers said the tactics used by the vested interest group are damaging the courts and threatening democratic fabric. They stated that Chief Justice Chandrachud’s leadership is crucial in these tough times and the Supreme Court should stand strong, adding it is not the time to maintain dignified silence.

Without naming, the letter also targeted a section of lawyers and alleged they defend politicians by day and then try to influence judges through the media at night. Furthermore, they claimed that some elements are trying to influence who the judges are in their cases and spread lies on social media to put pressure on the judges to decide in a particular way.

In addition, the All Manipur Bar Association had also written to CJI DY Chandrachud highlighting the need to speak out against underhanded attacks on the judiciary on Wednesday. In its letter, the bar association said that it was extremely concerned about recent trends where vested interest groups were trying to defame the courts with frivolous logic and stale political agendas.
