Fresh forensic report of the victim’s viscera shows that there was a high amount of sedative named Clonazepam present in her system
The Crime Branch of Jammu and Kashmir police is all set to submit in the trial court in Pathankot a new medical opinion which suggests that the high doses of sedatives of Clonazepam fed to the eight-year-old Kathua rape victim could have sent her into shock or coma.
The Crime Branch had sought a fresh medical opinion about the effects of Epitril 0.5 mg tablets and 'mannar' candies (locally made cannabis) administered to the victim during captivity.
Accordingly the samples of viscera were sent to forensic laboratory to find out the effects of the sedatives and cannabis. After analysis, the doctors have concluded that sedative tablets containing Clonazepam given to the Tribal nomad girl could have pushed her into a state of shock or coma.
The doctors, however, were unable to give any conclusion about the effects of the joint use of 'mannar' candies along with Clonazapem saying it was difficult to comment on the effect its co-administration.
According to the charge sheet, accused Deepak Khajuria along with his friend Vikram went to Bitu Medical shop on January 7, 2018 and purchased one strip of Epitril 0.5 mg containing 10 tablets by showing the prescription of his maternal uncle who had a psychiatric problem and is under treatment.
"Although the medicine as per the prescription was not available with Bitu he gave him Epitril 0.5 mg instead of the medicine written on the prescription. On January 4, 2018, accused Sanji Ram Maternal uncle provoked juvenile to take revenge from the Bakarwals who had earlier beaten him," read the charge-sheet.
Crime Branch had filed a charge sheet against eight people including Sanjhi Ram, a retired revenue official and the alleged mastermind of the crime, his son Vishal Jangotra and his nephew who is a juvenile. Other accused include Parvesh Kumar alias Mannu, Special Police Officers (SPOs) of Deepak Kumar Khajuria alias Deepu and Surinder Kumar, Sub Inspector of Hiranangar police station Anand Dutta and head constable Tilak Raj.
