Also the post-mortem examination report will be submitted online," said deputy chief minister Brajesh Pathak, who is also state's health minister, on Friday. The new order is likely to bring an end to complaints by families regarding money being demanded for videography, reaching body to post mortem house and for getting post mortem done. With a timeline of four hours decided to conduct the post-mortem examination after the body reaches the post mortem house, this malaise is likely to be taken care of. Videographers are provided by police/health department. According to the government order issued by principal secretary, medical and health, Partha Sarthi Sen Sharma, a woman doctor will be part of the panel of doctors when an examination is being conducted in case of rape, death within 10 years of marriage.

In districts where the number of examinations are higher than other (districts), more than one team/panel of doctors will be deployed at post mortem house. The GO aims to bring relief to families as in many cases the examination was completed after several hours. "The entire focus with the new directive is to bring relief to family members who will not have to wait for long as the entire process is completed within time and smoothly," said Pathak. The police department has been directed to ensure the body and related documents should reach the post mortem house as early as possible. Videography, in accordance with the directives in specific cases, should be done for bodies related to legal matter, death in case of police encounter or police custody, suicide, mutilated/decomposed body, dowry, rape case, and death within 10-years of marriage and other sensitive matter, along with post mortem being done at night. Videography is also to be done in case a repeat examination is being conducted. The cost of the videography shall not be taken from the family, instead should be withdrawn from Rogi Kalyan Samiti or other funds. In case of an accident, the examination shall be conducted at any time. To ensure that the post-mortem examination report is made online a computer system and an operator will be provided by the concerned chief medical officer of the district. "Ensure that the body is shifted to the post mortem house properly via hearse car. Also, during the post-mortem examination the body should be treated with respect.
