Mohammed Ali proceeds against IMA leaders

By Our Special Correspondent

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM Dec. 23. The chairman of the three-member committee appointed by the Indian Medical Association (IMA) to inquire into the kidney transplantation racket, M. Mohammed Ali, has approached the Court against the IMA top brass for `forging' his report to save the doctors and hospitals involved in the racket.

He filed a petition in the Thiruvananthapuram First Class Judicial Magistrate's Court today, charging that the IMA's president and secretary and its Ethics Committee chairman had forged his report before releasing it to the media at a press conference on October 25, this year.

In his petition, he charged that the forgery was done with the intention of saving the culprits from criminal liability and also to harming his reputation among fellow professionals and the general public.

Dr. Mohammed Ali cited several instances of the findings of the inquiry committee being `distorted' by the accused in the report released to the press. He also charged that even new findings were introduced into the report released by the accused and some pertinent ones omitted from it. All these `omissions, additions and distortion of facts' were made in the report published in his name without consulting him, he said.

The Court posted the petition for its consideration on December 31.
