ISHMEET’S FAMILY REITERATES DEMAND FOR CBI PROBE
Amritsar/Ludhiana August 11:
Not satisfied with viscera report of Ishmeet Singh, a budding singer who drowned in swimming pool in Maldives, his uncle Dr Charankamal Singh today reiterated the demand for the CBI probe into his death.
Dr Charankamal, who along with Ishmeet’s father Gurpinder Singh and other family members, today arrived in Amritsar to pay obeisance at the Golden Temple said that they still believe there was a foul play. “We cremated the body with injury marks on the head. We want a proper probe into the whole episode considering circumstantial evidences and witnesses’ accounts,” he said, adding that CM Parkash Singh Badal had also assured them a proper inquiry.
Meanwhile, in Ludhiana, Dr Charankamal said, “We are convinced that Ishmeet was murdered. He did not die by drowning. He was first injured, made unconscious and then thrown into the pool.” “The viscera report from Patiala has only substantiated what we have been saying since our boy died. All agencies, the Maldives Police, post-mortem at Ludhiana Civil Hospital and now the Patiala lab claim that Ishmeet’s death is a result of drowning and that there is no foul play,” he said.
“However, the Patiala report says that Ishmeet had a haematoma in his temporal region and injury in his lungs. While the doctor very callously claims that Ishmeet’s death is because of ‘drowning’, I would like to know how a dead man can get injured. From the injury report that this lab has given us it is clear that Ishmeet was first injured and later thrown into the pool after he went unconscious,” he said.
Taking a strong exception to the Patiala report being made public, Ishmeet’s uncle said, “This shows the callousness of the doctors in handling the case. We are the requisitioners in this case. We are the grieving family and we do not get the report…we read about in the newspapers.
The Patiala doctors could have first informed the Ludhiana police, the CM’s office or us and then gone to the town about it. Moreover, using terms like ‘simply drowning’ is unethical and unwarranted.” Meanwhile, they welcome the state government’s decision to set up a sangeet academy in the name of their deceased son.
