The doctor on duty at the University of Hyderabad health centre has challenged the claim of HRD minister Smriti Irani that no doctor was allowed near the body of research scholar Rohith Vemula on the day he had died, either to revive him or rush him to the hospital.

Dr M Rajshree, the doctor on duty when Rohith committed suicide on 17 January, said she was the one who had examined the body and declared him dead.
