“She had been nausea so we took her to the Dr Pardeep Moudgil Clinic on Lalheri Road in Khanna for a health check. I knew something wasn’t right with that jab. Her head lagged and all the colour drained from her. I knew my little kid had been murdered,” Amrit Kaur Loyal, who fears her daughter may have been a victim of a failed try to harvest her organs.

Gurkiren Kaur’s body was afterward shifted to the Rajendra Hospital in Patiala, where it is thought her organs were removed during a postmortem examination to hide the cause of demise.

“We were told the post-mortem was essential for the body to be released but we had informed them that we would want to conduct a second post-mortem in the UK. They assured us that only small incisions will be made and no organs will be removed. But the Birmingham coroner found no organs,” said the grief-stricken mom from her home in Hockley region of Birmingham.

Coroner Aidan Cotter has opened and adjourned an investigation into the demise of Gurkiren until further data is received India.

“A post-mortem examination was carried out, but we were unable to ascertain a cause of death. We are doing everything we can to help the family,” a representative for the coroner’s office stated.

“We are asking for the organs be returned to UK so that a proper probe can be carried out by the coroner here,” said the family’s local Handsworth councillor Narinder Kaur Kooner, who is leading a campaign for the UK and Indian governments to take action.

“There has been no positive action from either side so far. We are waiting to hear what action they propose to take. We are calling for a broader policy change in the longer term but at the moment our immediate concern is to get the organs back for a post-mortem to be conducted here,” she added.

As per the girl’s family, the 8-year-old was subjected to a “medieval” post-mortem examination during which all her major organs were took away.

It was only once the girl’s body was flown home to UK that they detected only her eyes remained.

Local police have taken their reports but the relatives are hesitant if a proper probe wasc onducted.

Ladywood MP Shabana Mahmood has also joined the family’s drive for responses.

“It is very important that we have the chance to separately establish the cause of demise with the authorities in the UK,” said Mahmood.
