Samir Sharma Death Case: After Lapses In Disha Salian’s Forensics Reported, Mumbai Cops Get Meticulous In Their Approach
Mumbai Police Follow Protocols
Updated : August 08, 2020 10:27 AM ISTAfter lapses in the forensic analysis of Disha Salian and Sushant Singh Rajput came to the fore, the Mumbai police officials don’t want to repeat it with the Samir Sharma death case and that is why they are taking very meticulous steps to ensure this time no more gaffes are reported. Samir Sharma’s body was found hanging by a hook in his Mumbai apartment on Thursday.
Mid-Day quoted sources as saying, "Malad police had to take help from the fire brigade to break open the door to Sharma's flat. The body was hanging from a hook in the kitchen."
Sharma’s sister Shamu Gupta flew down with her husband Kabir from Bengaluru and recorded their statements on Friday in which she has reportedly given 'detailed narratives' about the late actor's financial troubles. Samir's body was kept at the Shatabdi Hospital mortuary In Kandivali, Mumbai.
According to the Mid-Day report, police surgeon Dr. S M Patil asked his forensic team at Siddarth Hospital's post-mortem center in Goregaon, Mumbai to collect all the samples from the late actor’s house and record and photograph the entire procedure.
The publication also reported two forensic experts visited the crime scene in Neha Apartment [the flat where Samir used to stay] which was a small one room-kitchen in a dilapidated state. It appeared as though it had not been cleaned in a long time and that strips of tablets were found inside the house which were also sent for analysis. Reportedly, there was leftover rotting food and dirty utensils found in the kitchen.
Maggots too were found in Sharma’s body because it had decomposed, the forensic surgeons have preserved the blood samples, nail clippings, and viscera which will be sent to the FSL, reported Mid-Day.
Micro-legal adviser to the state Dr Patil told the publication, "It is a good move and we will ensure that all protocols are followed in unnatural deaths. As always, directives are being issued time and again to work closely with the police and FSL team."
