The body of Uttar Pradesh Deputy CMO, Y S Sachan, was cremated in Lucknow this evening after his family members yielded to apparent police pressure to perform the last rites on receiving the post-mortem report.

The body was taken to the electric crematorium in the city and the cremation was performed with the consent of his family members, brother of the deceased R K Sachan said.

"There was no pressure from the government in this regard," he said. The family members were earlier not ready to cremate the body alleging that he was murdered.
