Autopsy only after issue raised: Dog trainer’s kin

He claimed that only after the issue was raised did doctors state that they would perform the examination on Wednesday.
Dog handler, Hasrat Ali, a resident of in Vikhroli, had on Tuesday raised concern about the circumstances surrounding the incident, suspecting foul play.
"There is something fishy in the story told to us by officials of the company where Hasrat Ali worked... A chunk of his chest and arms was bitten and missing. I feel the company officials are hiding something," Shaikh had told TOI. —S Ahmed Ali
