No re-autopsy of Shamarukh yet

The body of Dr Shamarukh Mahjabin was yet to be exhumed for re-autopsy even six days after a court order.

A letter carrying the order was received by the Jessore Civil Surgeon Dr Atikur Rahman on Thursday.

A three-member committee, ordered to supervise the exhumation, had not been formed either, he told bdnews24.com.

"The deputy commissioner, superintendant of police, the police OC have or will receive similar letters. Exhumation and re-autopsy will begin after police arrive from Dhaka."

Shamarukh was declared dead at Central Hospital on Nov 13 after being taken there from her in-law's Dhanmondi residence.

Shamarukh was married to Humayun Sultan Shadab, son of former Awami League MP Tipu Sultan and Dr Jesmin Ara Begum, for two years.

The report of her autopsy conducted at the Dhaka Medical College and Hospital said the 24-year old hung herself but her father Nurul Islam rejected it and blamed Humayun's parents for 'influencing' the findings.
