Thiruvananthapuam: No details have been given of the second post-mortem, which was conducted at the Thiruvananthapuam medical college hospital after district collector S Venkateshpathi gave his nod.
The body of gunner Roy Mathew, who was found dead in army camp in Nashik after carrying out a sting on the practice of Shayaks in the Army , was finally taken to his native town of Kollam on Saturday after a second post-mortem at the insistence of his family.
“Many questions are unanswered. The body is beyond recognition. And the officials who accompanied the body refused to show it to even close relatives including the wife of the deceased,” said a relative of Mathew.
Roy Mathew, who complained of harassment by his senior officers in an interview to a Marathi channel, was found dead near the camp two days ago. Missing since last Sunday, his body was found near the army camp in Nashik in Maharashtra, the commanding officer (CO) informed the family on Thursday. However the family suspected foul play and demanded a thorough probe into circumstances that led to his death.
