BBC“Are you a professor of chemistry?” the judge asked.
“Yes,” Malta Pathak replied, held his hand in a polite namaste.
A white man, the glasses injured his nose, retired college teacher stands before two judges in a state court in Central Indian Pradesh, which teaches a forensic chemistric lecture.
“In the post-mortem,” he argued, his voice shivered but made up, “cannot be different between a thermal fire without proper chemical analysis.”
In the entire bench, Justice Vivek Agarwal reminds him, “The doctor who conducts post-mortem says there are clear signs of electrocution.”
It was a remarkable, nearly reliable chance – a 63-year-old woman, accused of killing her husband through electrocution, explained the court how acid and tissue reacted to the nature of a combustion.
The exchange, arrested in the video during his hearing in April, Viral in India and shocked the internet. But in court, there is no certain amount of assurance that is as confident that can eliminate the prosecution case – killed by a mate and a motive rooted in doubt and marriage.
Last month High Courts rejected Mamita Pathak’s appeal and maintained his life on April 2021 killing his husband, Neeraj Pathak, a retired doctor.
While Pathak has eaten an enthusiastic self, self-contributed – encourages the Gaps of Autopsy, the court found his husband on sleeping boards and then reminded him.
In court, Mamta, a mother two, rotating a bunch of overflowing files in case, lealing by before he was getting worse.
“Sir, electric combustion scores cannot be identified as ante-mortem (before death) or post-mortem (after death),” he argued quoting from a book in forensics.
“How do they write (Doctors) this is a post-mortem fire score (Report)?”.
Microscopically, electricity combustion appears at the same before and after death, which makes the standard inconsistency, alleged experts. A close study of dermal changes may reveal if a burn is- or post-mortem, according to one ROLE.
A bad exchange of chemical reactions followed, with the judge tried him in laboratory processes. The male is talking about different acids, explaining that differences can use a microskada of electron – something that is not possible in a post-mortem room. He tried to walk the judge through electron microscopy and various acids. Three women’s women’s lawyers in the background smiles.
Mamta plows – he said he studied the law of prison for a year. Flipping on his planks with stickers and quotes from forensic drug books, he targets the bonds of investigating experts in the crime area.
“Our house is insured from 2017 to 2022, and confirms that it is protected against electrical fire,” he said.
Mamta tells the court that her husband has high blood pressure and heartache. He expressed the true cause of death is to see “Calcifying his coronary artery due to aging”. He also suggested that he could take off and maintained a hematoma, but no CT scan was held to confirm it.
Neeraj Pathak, 65, was found dead in the family at 29 April 2021. The autopsy bleeds electrocution as the cause of death. Days, Mamta was arrested and charged with murder.
The police acquired a 11-meter electric wire with two pin splops, and FCTV footage from the couple’s house. Six tablets of a sleeping pill has been taken in a line of 10.
The postmortem report quotes the cardiorespiratory shock from electrical current on many sites as the cause of death, with 36 to 72 hours before the autopsy held on 1 May.
“But they did not find my fingers on the tablets of the tablets,” Male told the judges.
But his arguments were easily unchanged, leaving Judges Agarwal and Devented Sinha not mentioned.
Within nearly four decades, Mamta and Neeraj Pathak live in a seemingly smooth life in the middle of Chatarpur – a districted district in Madlang, Granitects, and small businesses.
He taught chemistry at local government college; He is the principal medical officer in District Hospital. They set up two sons – one lived abroad, the other, with his mother’s house. Neeraj retired volunteers in 2019 after 39 years as a government doctor and then opened a private clinic at home.
The incident occurred during the pandemic. Neeraj shows Covid symptoms and kept on the first floor. Mamta and his son Nitish, stayed downstairs. Two stairs from the floor attached to the floor of Neeraj’s rooms at the Open Gallery and Waith Hall in his private clinic, where half a dozen staff was changed between lab and medical stores.
The 97-page judgment says Mamata reports that her husband Neeraj was disrespectful in her bed 29 April, but not informed of a doctor until 1 May. However, he brought his older son to Jhansi – over 130km away – with no obvious cause, according to the driver, and returned to the same evening. He admitted ignorance about his death he finally announced the police.
Under this silence has a rough marriage. Judges highlighted a long-term discord in marriage, with a couple living with no and her husband who was unreal.
Early in the day he died, Neeraj calls an associate, declaring that the male “hurts him in a bathroom,” which prevents food in many days, and cause physical harm. He also accuses to get cash, ATM cards, car keys, and banks fixed deposit documents. Request for help, Neeraj’s son contacted a friend who weakened the police, who saved the retired doctor from the “custody of Mamta”.
The couple lives longer in the present times, increases the emphasis on the court’s doubts.
Mamta told the court that he was the “best mother,” presenting a birthday card from his children as proof. He also showed pictures of himself feeding his husband and snapshots with family.
However the judges were not touched. They noticed that love signs did not erase the motive – after all, a “doting mother” could also be a “suspicious wife,” they said.
Fifty minutes of his elimination, after improving the questions and defending himself against the creation’s doubts, Mamta’s composition disappeared for the first time.
“I know something … I didn’t kill him,” he said, his voice went through.
Another time, he confessed, “I don’t get it anymore.”
Trying to lighten stress, Judge Agarwal said, “You have to use it … you should classify 50 minutes of college.”
“Forty minutes, sir. But they were young children,” Mamta said.
“Small college kids? But your call is Assistant Professor,” Judge pressed.
“But they are children, Lord,” he replied.
“Don’t tell us such stories,” Judge Agarwal challenged.
Mamta fights not like a defendant, but as a teacher who makes the court a lab of chemistry – hoping to prove that he is innocent by science. Despite the end, cold facts have been proven to be stronger than his lessons.
