Sheena murder: DNA samples establish Indrani link, claim police

September 07, 2015 09:41

Indian Express reports: The Mumbai Police probing the Sheena Bora murder case have learnt from the Forensic Science Laboratory that eight of the 10 codes from DNA extracted from the skeletal remains found at Pen and accused Indrani Mukerjea's blood samples have matched.

To conclude that the skeletal remains belong to Sheena, police sources said, the FSL would have to complete the tests on another eight codes. The police are expecting a report from the FSL on Monday.

The police had sent the skeletal remains found at Pen, along with blood samples of Indrani and Sheena's brother Mekhail Bora, to the state FSL last week.

The forensic report will play an important part for the police to prove the charges against the accused Indrani, her former husband Sanjeev Khanna and former driver Shyamvar Rai.

Meanwhile, a day before her police custody ends (on September 7), the police took Indrani to her fourth-floor residence in Worli in connection with the probe.
