The survivor in the ICU sexual assault case is planning to demand a re-investigation into her allegation against gynaecologist K.V. Preethi, as the existing probe report has turned out to be unsatisfactory. She has questioned the report by the local police, which said that the junior doctor, whose statement had been recorded, was not present during her physical examination by Dr. Preethi, and several parts of the report were untrue.
The survivor had procured a copy of the investigation report after a two-week-long protest in front of the office of the District Police Chief (Kozhikode City). The Inspector General of Police (North Zone) had to issued a direct order, after seeking legal opinion, to the District Police Chief to make the report available.
“No junior doctor has visited me with Dr. Preethi. Then how can she give a statement? There is no mention of such a witness in the chargesheet filed by the police, nor in Dr. Peethi’s statement that is part of the chargesheet,” the survivor said.
