Onkar Singh in New Delhi
The Delhi police has approached the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi, Vijay Kapoor, for his permission to carry out a second post-mortem on the body of Natasha Singh.
The police agreed to have the second post-mortem done on the request of the family of Natasha Singh, who feel that the investigations have not been fair.
The first post-mortem was conducted at Delhi's Safdarjung Hospital on Sunday.
The doctors in their report had said that there were no external injuries or bullet marks and the death occurred due to head injuries sustained by Natasha Singh after her fall from the seventh floor of the Hyatt Regency hotel in New Delhi.
According to the police, Natasha had gone to seventh floor of the hotel and had fallen from there.
But doubts about the police theory remain, as the 7th floor of the hotel does not have a terrace, debunking the police claim that Natasha jumped from the terrace of the 7th floor.
"Seventh floor has rooms and all windows are tightly closed," a senior official of the hotel said.
The police had also claimed that it had found a liquor bottle from the terrace of the hotel.
"Since there is no terrace, who was staying at the hotel on the 7th floor? When did Natasha go there? From which room did the police recover the liquor bottle? These are some of the questions that need to be answered before the case could be closed either as a suicide or fresh investigations launched for murder," a senior Delhi police cop admitted.
According to sources in Delhi police a team of experts from various hospitals would be formed to conduct the second post-mortem.
