Yuvraj Manchanda death: Gurgaon police seek suspension of autopsy doctor for failing to identify gunshot wounds

Gurgaon police have requested the suspension of the doctor who performed an autopsy on Yuvraj Singh Manchanda, a 31-year-old Delhi-based real estate professional, due to the alleged failure to identify gunshot wounds on his neck. Manchanda was allegedly killed by his former colleague and her partner. The police submitted a compliance affidavit to Saket Court, seeking the suspension of Dr. Manav Chauhan, who conducted the autopsy, for allegedly overlooking the gunshot wounds.

However, Dr. Chauhan claimed innocence, stating that the bullet injuries could have been missed due to advanced decomposition. The police also accused scene-of-crime forensic assistant Dr. Richa Sharma of failing to identify and document firearm injuries during the spot examination. Both the police and the medical officer exchanged blame before Judicial Magistrate First Class Rahul Jain on October 15.
