Panjim: Suspecting possibility of human organ trafficking conspiracy at Goa medical college and hospital (GMC), Congress party on Monday demanded judicial probe into the missing body of Aldona based footballer Januz Gonsalves. The GMC erroneously handed over 24-year old Gonsalves body to Corporation of the City of Panaji (CCP) to dispose off along with three other unclaimed bodies lying at the morgue.
A FIR for negligence is been registered against head of forensic medicine Dr Edmund Rodrigues and two others, all who are placed under suspension. The case is handed over to crime branch from Agassaim police.
Addressing media persons, Goa Pradesh Congress Committee (GPCC) chief spokesperson Sunil Kawthankar said that organ harvesting angle cannot be ignored completely in the matter as such things have been reported in GMC in the past. “As per media reports (HERALD), in 2009, human organs had gone missing. As per report 72 temporal bones were missing. This is something serious,” he said.
