Doctor who performed autopsy on body of Raja aide Batcha quits
March 21st, 2011 - 2:05 pm ICT by ANIChennai, Mar. 21 (ANI): The doctor who performed an autopsy and postmortem on the body of Sadhick Batcha, the real estate tycoon and key aide of jailed former telecom minister A. Raja, has resigned from government service.
Dr.V Dekal, who heads the department of forensic sciences at the Madras Medical College, said he had put in his papers on March 3, over a fortnight before Batcha’s suicide, to contest the Tamil Nadu assembly elections.
“I am yet to make up my mind since the relieving order is yet to come. If it comes soon, I may contest as an independent,” he said.
Dr Dekal’s father was a DMK member.
Batcha, 39, was found hanging at his Chennai residence last Thursday. He was declared ‘brought dead’ to Apollo Hospital, Chennai at 1.20 p.m.
According to Central Bureau of Investigation sleuths, he was closely connected to the 2G spectrum money trail,
Dr Dekal had said that asphyxiation was the cause of Batcha’s death, but did not elaborate on the details. (ANI)
