The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) on Sunday asked the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to submit requisite information on the mysterious death of Rosy Sangma and Samuel Sangma in Gurgaon in June, last year.
Earlier, on October 25, last year, the rights body had issued notice to the District Magistrate of Gurgaon and Haryana Director General of Police (DGP) seeking a detailed report within six weeks.
Following a petition filed by Garo Development Council (GDC) chairman Alex K Sangma and vice-chairman Thengsil Sangma on July 1, 2021, the commission has also registered a case (No 1504/7/5/2021) on the deaths.
Samuel, hailing from Dimapur in Nagaland, was living on rent with his aunt Rosy, an air hostess, in the Bijwasan area of Delhi.
On the night of June 23, 2021, Rosie suddenly began to experience intense pain in her hands and feet and excessive bleeding. Samuel got his aunt admitted to a private hospital in Delhi, and when her condition deteriorated on the morning of June 24, they shifted her to Alpha Hospital in Gurugram.
According to Samuel, her condition began to improve, but Rosie consumed ice cream in the hospital ICU in the presence of doctors, and shortly after her health condition worsened and subsequently died.
After Rosie’s death, Samuel raised the issue on social media and made a video narrating the incident to “get justice”. He went on to allege that he was beaten up and thrown out of the hospital for circulating the video. Within 24 hours of Rosie’s death, Samuel’s body was found in a hotel room.
The questions raised by those demanding justice for Rosy and Samuel Sangma include why expert doctors were not called to treat Rosy if her condition was so serious, and why was she allowed to eat ice cream in the ICU when she was so ill.
On Samuel’s supposed suicide, questions have been raised about the alleged injury marks and swelling on his face and body.
“The Commission has considered the matter. Let a copy of the complaint and previous notice of the Commission be sent to the Director, Central Bureau of Investigation, New Delhi, calling upon him to submit a detailed report in the matter within six weeks,” the NHRC said in its notice on Sunday.
