DELHI HORROR

Sanjeev K Jha and Karn Pratap Singh doctors, however, confirmed that the 13 decomposed bones are indeed human remains. We will send it to the forensic science laboratory (FSL),” a police officer said, asking not to be named.

An FSL officer, also privy to the investigat­ion, said forensic teams that scoured the alleged crime scene — the couple’s Chhattarpu­r flat — spotted some traces of bloodstain­s in the kitchen. Samples were lifted and will be taken for examinatio­n later. “The refrigerat­or was totally clean when our officials went to the flat to lift samples. No evidence could be collected from the refrigerat­or. From the decomposed bones, we will try to match the DNA samples and match it with the woman’s father. But this process will take at least a week,” this person added, asking not to be named.

The police officer cited above added that, according to the doctor, the bones appeared to be of ribs and the pelvic region, and the blood samples were lifted from wooden cabinets around the kitchen sink and the marble platform. These were collected four days ago, but the FSL officer cited above said that the lab was yet to receive them for testing. The reason for the delay was not clear.
