Dr Arvind Kumar who is currently working as Professor Forensic Medicine
and Toxicology at Lady Hardinge Medical College, New Delhi, is an alumnus
of AIIMS, New Delhi. Considering his zest and zeal and possessing a critical
eye for medicolegal issues as I observed during his residency period as well
as afterwards, I inducted him into National Human Rights Commission as
one of the medicolegal experts last year only. It feels extremely satisfying to
note that during this short tenure he has been able to not only solve many
complicated medicolegal issues in the ield of Health and Human Rights but
also pen down his experiences in form of this book. Being my one of most
beloved disciple it feels immense pleasure in writing this foreword for him.
This captivating book titled “Forensic Investigation of Health Rights
Violation in custody” takes the readers through the health care system in
custody to many surprising medicolegal interpretations. Although the
emphasis of this work is on investigation of health rights violation, it
contains much that will be of interest to those outside this ield as well as to
the professionals of medical science, human rights, police science and lawundeniably to anyone having a fascination with the world of forensic
investigation in context of human right violations.
While reviewing the book, I found that he has narrated his experiences in
very simple question-answer format which keeps the readers focused on
the theme of the book. I can vouch that this small yet very useful book will be
of colossal help to many grateful readers who want to have a broader
perspective on investigation of health rights violation.
