Novel Technique Used In Raju Srivastava's Postmortem: AIIMS Forensic Chief

Raju Srivastava, 58, comedian died on Wednesday after more than 40 days in hospital.

New Delhi:

The postmortem of comedian Raju Srivastava was performed using a novel technique -- virtual autopsy -- which is devoid of dissections, AIIMS forensic department head Dr Sudhir Gupta said on Wednesday.

The 58-year-old comedian died on Wednesday after more than 40 days in hospital.

Virtual autopsy, which is done with help of high-tech digital X-rays and CT scan, are less time consuming as compared to the traditional postmortem and is non-invasive allowing the body to be released for cremation or burial sooner, Mr Gupta said.

When asked why an autopsy had to be done in this case, he said, "In the very beginning when he was brought to the AIIMS casualty, he was not in his senses and a clear history of fall during running on treadmill could not be explained properly.

"That's a reason it had become a medico-legal case, and in such type of cases police opt for postmortem if the person dies." The traditional surgery during autopsy is a little bit of pain giving to the aggrieved family, Mr Gupta said, adding that AIIMS Delhi is the only institute in southeast Asia which has been doing virtual autopsy for the last two years.

"The radiological examination can detect fractures and blood clots invisible to the naked eye. Often there are concealed fractures and injuries which are difficult to spot.

"With the help of virtual autopsy, even smaller fractures like hairline or chip fracture in bones along with bleeding which are signs of antemortem injuries can be detected and they can be also documented in the form of X-ray films. These X-ray plates have complete legal evidential value," said Mr Gupta.

"Jaiswal Has Run Ahead Of Gill": Ex-India Star's Massive T20 WC Verdict

By
Former India opener Aakash Chopra has suggested that Yashasvi Jaiswal is slightly ahead of Shubman Gill in the pecking order as captain Rohit Sharma's partner at the top in T20Is. Since making his debut last year, Jaiswal has been in stunning form in the shortest format of the game. Gill's form, on the other hand, has dipped since the ODI World Cup last year in India. With the T20 World Cup scheduled to be held later this year, Chopra feels Jaiswal will open the innings with Rohit during the tournament. "It's clear that Yashasvi Jaiswal has run ahead of Shubman Gill. Yashasvi is ahead in the two-horse race, Gill is lagging slightly behind. Gill was played in the first match, dropped in the second, and wasn't played in the third as well," Chopra said on his YouTube channel. Jaiswal helped India beat Afghanistan in the second T20I earlier this week, scoring a quickfire fifty. Considering his recent form across formats, Chopra emphasised that Jaiswal has ...
