New Delhi : A victim, who was injured in firing by two Italian Marines, has approached Supreme Court pleading it not to allow one of the accused Massimiliano Latorre, who claimed to have suffered brain stroke recently, to leave the country without verifying his medical condition.
The victim, Freddy, who is also a complainant in the case, pleaded before the apex court for constitution of a medical board of AIIMS doctors for medical examination of Latorre. Freddy is the owner of the fishing boat ‘St Antony’, in which two Indian fishermen were murdered when the marines started firing on them allegedly under the misconception that they were pirates. He submitted that medical examination is necessary because of the previous conduct of the marines and the serious violations of apex court’s order committed by them.
