Uniforms in trash: CRPF points finger at hospital staff

December 11, 2014 19:57

An internal inquiry conducted by Central Reserve Police Force has found lapses on the part of hospital authorities and staff in Raipur by not following set procedures as a result of which uniforms and other belongings of martyred troops were found in a garbage dump recently in Chhattisgarh.

The inquiry findings, submitted to CRPF headquarters, said two pairs of uniforms and few sets of jungle boots of CRPF personnel, killed in an encounter with Maoists, were thrown away in garbage dump after being considered as "medical waste" by the panel of doctors and lower rung employees at the hospital's autopsy centre.

Fourteen CRPF personnel were killed in a Naxal attack in Sukma district on December 1. Blood-stained uniforms and shoes of some of the CRPF personnel who were killed in the Naxal attack were later found in a garbage bin on the Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar Memorial Hospital premises, sparking outrage.
