mehak case
Panchkula, November 3 The plea of the police is in contradiction to the report of the medical board that conducted the postmortem wherein it was mentioned that it was not a case of suicide. On the other hand, the police, in its report before the court, has made no mention of neither the post mortem nor the viscera report, which mentioned injury marks at the time of death. Sandeep Garg, husband of Mehak, has been granted bail in the case. It was on August 20, when the body of 23-year-old Mehak was found under mysterious circumstances at the residence of her in-laws in Sector-16, Panchkula. In the police report before the court, the police have mentioned that it was the second marriage of Sandeep and as the financial condition of the Mehak’s family was not sound and no dowry was paid. The report, filed by the Panchkula police, mentions more about the girl’s character stating, “Mehak made a number of calls to Harish before and after marriage and the former even proposed her and wanted to married. But due to poor financial condition, they could not marry. Even after marriage, the girl was in contact with the boy.” “The whole report clearly shows that it is in the favour of the accused. Nothing has been mentioned about Mehak’s injury marks at the time of death,” said Sunil Gupta, the father of the deceased. Further, no mention has been made about the observations made in the postmortem that the girl had injury marks on her arms before the death, said he. The postmortem had also raised serious questions and the board had given its opinion on the viscera report that it was not a case of suicide. The doctors were suspecting it to be a case of homicidal hanging. When contacted DSP Arun Moudgil of the crime branch, he said, “ We have written in the report what our team investigated.”

Patient, husband arrested in Mohali kidney scam
Mohali, November 3 So far, as many as five arrests have been made in the case. The earlier arrested accused include Sachin, a lab technician; and Manju Pandey and her son Abhishek Pandey; while three accused, Shakeel, Vikas and Amitabh Pandey (another son of Manju Pandey) are still at large. Notably, day before yesterday Manju Pandey died at Patiala jail due to illness. SP (City) Swarndeep Singh said Sandeep, who is in the business of blankets manufacturing, had managed to buy a kidney for his ailing wife Archna after paying Rs 3 lakh to Sachin and other accused, who used to allure innocent persons to sell their organs. Sandeep and Archna had prepared fake documents and recorded false statements that the donor in their case was his brother-in-law, said SP Swanrdeep Singh. Notably, Sachin alias Fagu Lal, who originally hails from Binayakpur, Uttar Pradesh, and had worked as a technician at a local hospital, used to replace the blood sample of the donor with some relative of the patient to match the DNA reports of the both. Other members of the gang -- Shakeel, Vikas and Pandey family -- fraudulently brought the innocent victims to the city and prepared fake identities for them before removing their kidneys. They even made arrangements for the stay of these victims. Sources in the police department claimed that majority of the donors hailed from UP, Bihar and Nepal. They donated their kidneys illegally in return of money. The SIT investigations revealed that most of the donors were shown residents of Mohali by preparing fake documents. The Mohali police has set up a special investigating team (SIT) to investigate the matter after registering a case under Sections 419, 420, 468, 471, 474 and 120-B of the IPC and 18, 19-A and 20 of The Transplantation of Human Organs and Tissues Act, 1994, at the Phase-VIII police station here. Notably, the names of two local private hospitals, where these kidney transplantations had taken place, also surfaced for their alleged involvement in the scam after Deputy Inspector-General of Police (DIG), Lucknow, DK Thakur, claimed to have busted a gang engaged in human organ trafficking and the sale of kidneys. Meanwhile, the police today produced both Sandeep Goyal and his wife in the court, which sent Sandeep to one-day police remand and Archna to judicial custody. However, Archna had to be admitted to a private hospital after her condition
deteriorated later in the day.
