| Army begins probe in Megha Razdan case | | | Early Times Reporter
Jammu | April 22
The army has launched its own probe into the Captain Megha Razdan suicide case, in which her husband Captain Chaitanya Bhatwadekar was arrested on charges of abetting the suicide.
“The 26-infantry division has commenced an independent probe into Captain Megha Razdan suicide case and the involvement of her husband captain Bhatwadekar in it,” official sources said.
The army has written to police officials to hand over the details of the case, they said.
“An officer has been entrusted with the probe, who would look into the details and probe on the involvement of Captain Bhatwadekar in it,” the sources said.
A Jammu & Kashmir court had on April 16 remanded Captain Bhatwadekar to 15-day judicial remand following a police investigation that found him guilty of abetting the suicide of his wife.
The lady officer was found hanging in her army quarters at Kunjwani on July 1 last year, after which police began probe into the mysterious death.
Megha’s death had initially sparked a controversy after the recovery of a purported suicide note, saying she was harassed by her seniors in the army.
The probe later zeroed in on Bhatwadekar, who allegedly tried to escape investigation by cutting his tongue and fabricated the circumstances by enacting a drama of kidnapping, police said.
Police conducted brain-mapping and narco-analysis test on Bhatwadekar three months ago in Bangalore and arrested him on April 1 for abetting the suicide of his 26-year-old wife and cruelty under section 306 and 389-A of Ranbir Penal Code. |
