It is a common practice in most of the autopsies to remove the stomach and other vital organs that might be needed for further analysis at a later date. In this context, the Chief Secretary has given the statement -
Chief Secretary J P Singh told reporters here that the government has nothing to hide in the case, which has hogged the media spotlight.
"A section of national media has reported that key organs were found missing from Scarlette's body (during autopsy in UK). It is being implied that this was deliberately done or it's a part of cover up which is not so," said Singh, who is also the Home Secretary.
He clarified that the two autopsies conducted on Scarlette's body in Goa were as per procedure followed in India.
"Half of each kidney was removed during the two autopsies. Full stomach was removed during the first autopsy with its content, while the uterus was sent for histopathological examination," the chief secretary said.
He has spoken the truth and has hidden nothing. It is left for anyone to take it or leave it!!
