காலை 4 மணிக்கே தகனம் செய்யப்பட்டதா??? 😳 இந்த குற்றச்சாட்டு உண்மையானது என்றால், இது ஹத்ரஸ் சம்பவத்தைப் போலவே இருக்கிறது… அதிர்ச்சிகரமான சம்பவம் இது. மேலும், நீதிபதி “உடற்கூறு (post-mortem) பணியை Forensic Medicine Department மருத்துவர்கள்தானா செய்தார்களா?” என்று கேட்டுள்ளார். (எல்லா மருத்துவர்களும் உடற்கூறு செய்ய தகுதியானவர்கள் அல்ல.) இது மாநில அரசுக்கு எதிராக நான் நினைத்ததைவிடவும் மோசமாகத் தோன்றுகிறது. உண்மையை வெளிக்கொணர சிபிஐ விசாரணை அவசியமாகி வரும் நிலை உள்ளது.
