BHUBANESWAR/RAYAGADA: The Mystery Around Critic Putin Pavel AntovOdisha’s death deepens the following Wednesday forensic expert inside Health service Dept the legislator said viscera was not preserved prior to cremation and police did not request a sample.
“Organ samples are certainly desirable to us, although autopsy reports and organs are not the only thing to rely on in the investigation. Two separate cases of unnatural deaths have been recorded,” said a state crime police officer.
The Odisha government has ordered a criminal branch investigation into the deaths of Russian businessman and lawmaker Antov, 65, and his friend Vladimir Bydanov, 61 years old, a few days apart in the town of Rayagada, southern Odisha. Sausage tycoon Antov fell to his death from the third floor of his hotel last Saturday, two days after Bydanov died of a heart attack in the same hotel.
Rayagada’s director of public health Lalmohan Routray said Bydanov’s organ samples had been preserved for laboratory testing. Organs including liver, heart, spleen, lung and kidney samples are sent for forensic examination when the cause of death is unknown. “Antov suffered multiple injuries, possibly from a fall. The police did not specifically ask to send an organ sample,” said a doctor who performed an autopsy on Antov.
‘Organs should be kept by the police’
Former police officers and legal experts have heavily condemned the police for not following standard operating procedures. Odisha former DGP Bipin Bihari Mishra said the organs should be kept for further examination. “That would be the ideal situation.”
Vishal Garg, a professor of forensic medicine at the Adesh Institute of Health Sciences and Research in Bathinda of Punjab, said wherever there is doubt, one should preserve samples for chemical testing. “I’d be surprised if it wasn’t done, especially when two people died in quick succession,” he said.
Supreme Court Attorney Orissa Debashish Panda said police and doctors should keep the samples. “If it is clear that a person died from a fall from a height, there is no need for chemical testing. But how can you be so sure when there are no witnesses?”
According to the hotel employee’s report, police are investigating whether Antov and Bydanov got into a fight. Broken wine bottles and plates were found scattered throughout the room.
Antov, a member of the pro-Putin United Russia party of the Vladimir region’s legislative assembly, criticized Russia’s air strikes on Kyiv, but apologized after mounting pressure, the Daily Mail reported.
