DEHRADUN: Veteran Congress
leader N D Tiwari's blood samples were collected by a team of six
doctors amid tight security on Tuesday following the Supreme Court order
to establish the veracity of paternity suit filed by Rohit Shekhar who claims to be his biological son.
Senior judicial, administrative and police officers, apart from his
family members including his nephew, Manish Tiwari, were present at
Tiwari's official residence at Forest Research Institute (FRI) campus
when the samples were taken.
The 87-year-old former governor of
Andhra Pradesh and thrice CM of undivided Uttar Pradesh was forced to
give the samples after 32-year-old Rohit Shekhar's paternity suit filed
in the Delhi high court.
Chief medical superintendent, Dr BC
Pathak of Doon Hospital, said Tiwari gave his blood samples at 10.30am,
adding that the samples were sealed properly before being handed over to
registrar of Delhi HC. A police officer on duty said Rohit Shekhar was
soon taken to Tiwari's residence but his mother Ujjwala Sharma was
initially denied entry. She was let in after Rohit intervened.
Tiwari's blood samples would be taken to Centre of DNA Fingerprinting
and Diagnostics in Hyderabad along with blood samples of Rohit and his
mother Ujjwala's to determine if Rohit indeed is the biological son of
Tiwari.
