Under the Coroners Act, 1962, a Coroner is an independent office holder with responsibility under the law for the medicolegal investigation of the circumstances of sudden, unexplained, violent and unnatural deaths. Neither I nor my Department have any role in individual cases but I have asked the Coroner to expedite this matter.
