Unnatural death of Ashutosh Asthana
I am going through the news clipping regarding the unnatural/mysterious death of Ashutosh Asthana, The main accused/suspect in the multi-Crore Ghaziabad Civil Court provident fund scam allegedly involving 36 judges, including a sitting Supreme Court Judge, died on Saturday in Judicial Custody. As per Dr. AK Singh, the attending doctor "it looks like a case of poisoning" but the exact cause can be ascertained only after postmortem." Honorable Supreme Court has been pleased to direct high level probe, the district judge of Ghaziabad has been directed to probe independently bar leaders moves court for independent probe into death. Today the doctor has said to a press that he has been misreported that he never said Ashutosh Asthana appeared to have died of poisoning and of nothing else. All this creates serious suspicion and doubt in the episode. It has also been noted from press that Union Law Minister has also been shocked to hear the sad demise of suspect Asthana. Now everyone is waiting/watching to see the result of inquiry. As a public interest lawyer I am to request the Honorable Supreme Court of India to kindly get it inquired from a Retired Judge of The Supreme Court of India because as per my considered view and belief, Judiciary is the repository of people's faith, last ray and last hope of the people. The conduct of Jail Authorities/Jail Doctor is highly condemnable beyond condemnable limits. We are looking forward to the temple of Justice.
