Panaji, June 01: The district administration today ordered a second autopsy on the body of 28-year-old Nadia Torreado, who allegedly committed suicide by consuming rat poison. “The second autopsy has been ordered and it will be conducted in a district hospital in Margao today,” a senior district administration official said.
The first autopsy was conducted at a hospital in Chennai on Sunday before shifting the body to Goa. Nadia was admitted to a private hospital in Thane, Mumbai a fortnight ago after she had allegedly consumed a paste full of rat poison.
She was transferred to Chennai after her liver failed. The woman, hailing from Loutolim village, 40 kms away from here, died on Sunday.
Superintendent of Police (South) Allan D”Sa told PTI that since Nadia has died, the case of attempt to suicide filed against her does not stand. “Now we will investigate into the causes which led to her decision to take extreme step.
We will investigate all the aspects,” he said. Women activists had demand that the matter be investigated properly.
Main opposition BJP has demanded an “impartial inquiry into the case”.
