Unnao woman's gang rape accused Subham never admitted to PHC in Dec '18: In-charge

The doctors at Sumerpur primary health centre here on Wednesday denied that one of the two accused in the gang rape and murder of the 23-year-old Unnao woman was admitted in the PHC on the date of the alleged rape in December 2018.

The primary health centre authorities made the denial refuting media reports that accused Shubham Trivedi had been admitted in the Sumerpur PHC on Dec 10, 2018 and was discharged five days later.

The reports insinuated that Trivedi had a valid alibi of being elsewhere than the scene of crime on the date of the alleged rape on December 12, 2018.

Asked about Shubham Trivedi's admission in the PHC, the health centre's Medical Officer Vinay Tomar said, "I have taken charge in August this year and the matter was stated to be of December 2018."
Though the high court had dismissed the writ petition, the document claimed that Subham was admitted in the Sumerpur primary health centre for five days from December 10, 2018 for "hydrocelectomy, a surgical procedure for treatment of hydrocele with symptoms of right side swelling of scrotum and tenderness."
