Kochi: The principal of Alappuzha Medical College found serious lapses in the post-mortem procedures conducted by the Medical College on the body of Jishamol. Dr B. Jayaleksha filed a report to the health department secretary pointing to the flaws in the procedure. Pursuant to this, the secretary issued a probe.
A team comprising Medical Education joint director Dr Sreekumari and forensic department head Dr Shashikala will visit the college on Friday. According to sources the post-mortem was conducted by PG students and associate professors did not participate.
