AIIMS report : Sunanda Pushkar died of poisoning
NEW DELHI :An All India Institute of Medical Sciences ( AIIMS) medical board report dated January 1, 2016 said that Sunanda Pushkar died of poisoning. The report has been handed over to the SIT.
The 11 page report along with 4 annexures clearly states, “The Medical Board unanimously conclude that the cause of death in this case is poisoning. The circumstantial recovery of empty Alprax Tablets (27 tablets) and report of the FBI which shows the presence of Alprax in stomach and its contents, spleen, liver section, half of each kidney, blood sample, as well as urine wet clothing, bed cover and bed sheet confirmed the death is due to excessive ingestion of Tablet Alprazolam.”
The report further states that the “Medical Board does not rule out any injectable poison in view of Injury no 10 which is an injection prick mark and the same has been subsequently clarified by KIMS Hospital as well as the confirmation of lidocaine in FBI report, an anti-arrhythmic drug of heartwhich may cause fatality if administered intravenously. The dozens of unexplained injuries including teeth bite mark are suggestive of active scuffle prior to death.”
In its report, the Board has also asked the Special Investigation Team to investigate whether someone with access to either “insulin or hypoglycemic agent” was present near the Leela Palace hotel, where Sunanda died, on January 17, 2014. The Board states, “SIT should investigate thoroughly if any person in the vicinity and in access of insulin/hypoglycaemic agent was there, as there was presence of injection mark over body of deceased (Injury no 10).”
The Medical Board’s conclusion comes on the basis of the an FBI’s report on Sunanda’s viscera samples. In its report, the FBI states having found the presence of lidocaine, an anti-arrhytmic drug of the heart which may cause fatality if administered intravenously.
At the same time the Board rubbished an email claiming Sunanda had lupus and was consulting a doctor in Dubai for the same. The Board stated that it was a “desperate effort to mislead the investigation by a doctor who is not even a specialist of lupus and merely a child specialist.”

Ottawa : Shots rang out at a school in western Canada today, leaving four people dead and several others critically injured . Authorities did not disclose the age and identify of the shooter and victims.
Several witnesses reported seeing a “boy,” who was either a student or formerly attended the school, opening fire inside the building.
“I ran outside the school,” Noel Desjarlais, a Grade 10 student at the school, told public broadcaster CBC.
“There was lots of screaming. There was about six, seven shots before I got outside. I believe there was more shots by the time I did get out.”
The town’s hospital told AFP they were treating the victims for gunshot wounds.
The high school and a nearby elementary school were locked down as police responded.
The suspected shooter was taken into custody after police received an emergency call about “a person discharging a weapon in the community,” RCMP superintendent Maureen Levy told reporters.
“Obviously, this is every parent’s worst nightmare,” said Prime Minster Justin Trudeau.
Trudeau held a news conference in Davos, Switzerland, where he was attending the World Economic Summit, to announce the death toll in the remote northern aboriginal community of La Loche in the province of Saskatchewan.
Trudeau said five people had been killed and two others were in critical condition but a Royal Canadian Mounted Police spokeswoman later revised the death toll down to four.
La Loche students said they heard six or seven shots ring out at around 1:00 pm local time (1900 GMT).
Located deep in Canada’s northern boreal forest, 600 kilometers north of Saskatoon, this town of about 3,000 is particularly isolated and authorities had to send in police reinforcements and dispatch a medical helicopter to airlift some victims to a hospital.
On December 6, 1989, a 25-year-old man opened fire at the Polytechnic School in Montreal, killing 14 people, including 10 female students.
Unlike in the US, shootings are rare in Canada, where firearms are more regulated than south of the border.
