7 | January 2012 | Namrata Damor | A native of Meghnaghar in Jhabua, 25-year old Namrata was a first year student of MGM Medical College, Indore. Her death was initially ruled as a suicide in 2012. However, in 2014, her name appeared in the list of students who had cleared PMT-2010 using unfair means. Her friend Vishal Verma's name also appeared in the list of candidates who had been impersonated by other students in PMT-2009. Both the students had successfully applied for a transfer from G R medical collage in Gwalior to MGM Medical College in Indore. According to her father Mehtab Singh Damor, Vishal had helped her get this transfer. According to Dr Anand Rai, a whistleblower who exposed the PMT irregularities, she could have been sexually exploited by the masterminds of the scam. Namrata's family claimed that they had an argument with the scam's kingpin Jagdish Sagar and his gang a few days before her disappearance. They had met Jagdish Sagar through Gangaram Pipliya, who was also chargesheeted in the scam. According to them, Vishal was a conduit of Jagdish Sagar. | Namrata went missing on 7 January 2012, soon after her exam results were declared. Unable to reach her on mobile phone, her brother Omprakash arrived in Indore to inquire about her. He lodged a missing person complaint on 12 January. On the same day Namrata went missing, the police had found a mutilated dead body close to the railway tracks in ujjain district. A ticket reserved for 7 January in Indore-Bilaspur Express was also found with the body, but there was no other identification. An autopsy conducted by a three-doctor panel on January 9 reported that she had died because of "violence" as a result of smothering. The police buried the body, and put up its photograph at Ujjain railway station. Omprakash identified the body as that of his sister based on the photograph, and the identity was confirmed after her body was examind 29 January. The police then launched an investigation, but the circumstantial evidence did not support a homicidal death. The police then sought the opinion of Medico-Legal Institute, Bhopal. Its director Dr. DS Barhkur visited and analyzed the incident spot on 7 February 2012, and also looked at the photographs taken by the police. He submitted a 25-page report on 30 March 2012, stating that the three-doctor panel had made lapses in pin-pointing the cause of death. He suggested that Namrata was alive before jumping from the moving train, and recommended that the case should be investigated from the point of abetting Namrata for suicide rather than a homicide. In autopsy, semen was found on her body. Four men were subjected to DNA test to match semen samples collected from her clothes. One of these was Vishal Verma, who had called her several times on her mobile minutes before she died. Vishal's sample allegedly matched with the sample collected from Namrata's clothes, but he was let off after an investigation. The police suspected that she had committed suicide by jumping off the train, because her father had scolded her over her friendship with a boy he disapproved of. This was in January 2012, when the MPPEB scam had not been exposed fully. However, in 2014, both Namrata and Vishal's names appeared in the list of student suspects in the scam, leading to suspicions of foul play. Namrata's family claimed that she had been murdered and her dead body was dumped on the railway tracks. On July 17, 2015, CBI termed her death as murder and registered a murder case. | |
