2nd autopsy of Martin’s aide performed

Judicial Magistrate M Ramadhas, who was unconvinced with the post mortem after an examination, had ordered a second one to be performed and it was videographed. The second post mortem was done by a team of doctors from Ramachandra Hospital in Chennai, Salem Government Hospital and Kanniyakumari Government Hospital. The post mortem, which began at 10 am ended at around 3 pm. Thereafter, the Judicial Magistrate accompanied by the team of doctors visited the pond near Karamadai, where T Palanisamy, accountant, was found dead.

Palanisamy, who was working as an accountant in the group of companies owned by Martin, was found dead under mysterious circumstances in a pond near Karamadai on May 3. The Coimbatore rural police registered a case of suspicious death and held inquiries, but was clueless on the cause of his death.

Meanwhile, Palanisamy’s son Rohin Kumar moved the High Court seeking magisterial inquiry suspecting foul play in the death of his father. Following HC orders Ramadhas was appointed to conduct an inquiry.
