Jaipur: Doctors conduct suicide victim Ram Pratap Meena's autopsy on the spot; CID-CB begins probe

JAIPUR: A medical team conducted the autopsy on the body of suicide victim Ram Pratap Meena in Chandi ki Taksal on Thursday.
Additional commissioner of police (law and order) Kunwar Rastradeep said that the post-mortem procedure was conducted on the spot.
“A post-mortem was requisite so that the investigation could start,” he said.
Sources informed TOI that CID-CB of Rajasthan Police on Thursday began an investigation into the case and quizzed three suspects named in the FIR. “We had called three persons named in the case for the questioning,” said a senior official.
Meena ended his life on Monday and blamed cabinet minister Mahesh Joshi along with others for halting his house’s construction work in Chandi ki Taksal area.
His family has been protesting since Monday and has refused to cremate his body. “The family on Thursday also refused to let the body go for the post-mortem. Therefore, we agreed to have the post-mortem right at the spot,” said an official. “The probe was underway in the case. All documents related to this case will be examined. We had requested family members that the investigation will not move ahead unless post-mortem is done,” the official added.
The family members and relatives of the deceased continued to allege that Joshi was equally responsible for Meena’s death and that action should be taken against him.
The family said that Meena was under mental stress after some people stopped the construction work of the house. They said that they have patta of the house, but priests of the temple and Joshi used their influence to halt the construction. The priests, on the other hand, claimed that the courts had ordered Meena to vacate the possession.
