The Bombay high court on Saturday directed JJ Hospital to carry out a second post-mortem on the body of 17-year-old Sachin Jaiswar, a Dharavi resident, who died at Sion Hospital on July 21, 2018. Jaiswar’s family had alleged that he died due to police brutality, and has refused to claim his body till date.

The HC has asked a panel of doctors, who were not part of the team that performed the earlier post-mortem, to carry out the second one. The family has also agreed to claim the body after the next post-mortem and perform the last rites.
