Deputy Speaker Raghurama Krishna Raju expressed surprise at Guntur General Hospital former Superintendent Dr. Prabhavathi’s statement during the hearing that she had no recollection of her medical certificate issued with regard to the injuries on Raghurama’s body in the custodial torture case. He said that it was ridiculous that she had only signed the report given by the doctors.
Moreover, he wondered about her confession that she had no knowledge of the injuries on his body, as a gynecologist she knows only about babies’ birth. Raghurama Krishna Raju said that she should know how she had forgotten that anyone who has done MBBS would have minimal knowledge of injuries.
He recalled that she was hiding till the Supreme Court granted her bail and came out into the crowd as soon as she was relieved. He made it clear that everyone knows who is instigating her to speak like this. He said that he is praying to God to restore Dr. Prabhavathi’s memory.
She is the fifth accused in the Raghuram Krishna Raju custodial torture case. The police interrogated Dr. Prabhavathi for two days as per the orders of the Supreme Court. She came to the Ongole district SP office and was questioned on Monday and Tuesday morning till night under the leadership of SP Damodar.
How was a medical certificate issued stating that Raghurama had no injuries despite his injuries? At whose instigation did he have to give it? Are there any injuries on his body? Not at all? It seems that Prabhavathi was being questioned on these issues. She gave dry answers during the interrogation.
Why did you give junior doctors a place in the medical committee when senior doctors were to be appointed as per the instructions of the High Court for the medical report on the injuries sustained by Raghuramakrishna Raju in CID custody?
Who sent a cardiologist to examine Raghurama? What are the guidelines that you have to follow if you want to issue a fitness certificate to anyone in any case? Have you followed all of them in this case? The police asked these questions.
