Court says no to plea for CBI probe against Unnao doctors
‘It’s the prerogative of the CBI to conduct the prosecution’
19/09/2019 , press trust of india, New Delhi
A Delhi court has refused to direct
the CBI to initiate a probe against the doctors who had treated the
father of the Unnao rape survivor when he was injured and in judicial
custody, saying it was the prerogative of the CBI to conduct the
prosecution.
District Judge Dharmesh Sharma was hearing a plea filed by the counsel of the woman, who was allegedly raped by Uttar Pradesh MLA Kuldeep Sengar in 2017.
The court, however, said that if during the course of the trial any evidence surfaces about the role played by any of the doctors in the entire episode, appropriate orders would be passed.
Senior Public Prosecutor Ashok Bhartendu had opposed the plea saying that nothing has come up in their investigation so far to call the doctors as accused before the court.
The plea, filed by advocate Dharmendra Mishra, had alleged that the doctors at the district hospital deliberately did not examine the father of the woman properly at the behest of Sengar.
Charges framed
The court had earlier framed charges against Sengar and nine others for allegedly assaulting and framing the rape survivor's father in an arms case and murdering him in judicial custody.
