Four days after deputy chief medical officer Dr Y S Sachan was found dead in mysterious circumstances in a toilet of the local district jail, the Lucknow police on Sunday conceded the echoing demand from different family members of the victim to register a case of murder against "unidentified persons."
The FIR was registered at the Gosainganj police station in the wake of mounting pressure from different quarters .
"Taking cognisance of the complaint made by Dr Sachan's wife Malti Sachan to Lucknow DIG Police, we have got a FIR registered with the Gosainganj police station against unidentified persons," said an official spokesman.
However, the slain doctor's son Sankalp Sachan is not impressed with the government's belated decision to allow a "murder" case to be registered .
Reiterating the family's demand for a CBI probe into the alleged murder, Sankalp told mediapersons, "I fail to understand why the state government is so reluctant to order a CBI probe even after two chief medical officers and a deputy chief medical officer have been murdered -- I have reason to believe that top people including
