# Fresh probe ordered into Kanpur hand amputation of jawan’s mother 2026-08-16T16:56:39+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Uttar Pradesh health department has ordered a reinvestigation into the hand amputation of Nirmala Devi, mother of an ITBP jawan, after allegations that the initial inquiry was biased. ITBP officers and police officials will join the medical team in the new probe. Chief Medical Officer Dr Haridatt Nemi said the earlier report was transparent and submitted to the police commissioner, but concerns from ITBP officials led to the decision for a fresh inquiry. Police Commissioner Raghubir Lal has nominated an officer to assist in examining medical records, statements and findings. The inquiry committee stated that Devi, a cardiac patient, suffered blockage in blood vessels leading to amputation. Histopathology tests are expected to determine the exact cause. CCTV footage from Krishna Hospital and Paras Hospital is being examined to trace treatment details and possible negligence during a critical 12-hour period. ## Coverage - millenniumpost.in This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
