The Jewish victims from the Mumbai Chabad House siege showed no indications of torture, a Mumbai doctor said.
Dr. Ganjanan Chawan saw the bodies when they arrived at JJ Hospital in Mumbai.
His statements in Wednesday’s edition of the Jerusalem Post contradicted an interview with a morgue employee of the hospital printed the previous day by the newspaper. The morgue employee had said the Jewish victims had more injuries than the other victims in last week’s terrorist attacks on the Indian city. More than 180 people were killed.
A hospital doctor was quoted Sunday on the Rediff Indian news site as saying that the bodies of the Jewish victims bore torture marks.
