Madhya Pradesh High Court, Jabalpur |

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Madhya Pradesh High Court has instructed the state government for CBI or STF probe in the fake DNA report in connection with the murder incident reported on May 16, 2021, according to the advocate of accused.

Two accused Sandip Thakur and Ansul Thakur were arrested. Sickle, other arms and clothes were recovered. Samples were sent for DNA test.

Advocate Nitin Dubey, who appeared on behalf of the accused, said that the “Superintendent of Police (SP) Jabalpur informed the court that he received report on June 6, 2021 as it was sent RFSL, Jabalpur, on June 10, 2021 to verify whether it is human blood or not. While the investigating officer (IO) reported to the HC that he sent samples on June 23, 2021 for DNA test in Bhopal. The constable on the other hand reported that he left a draft in Bhopal on June 23, 2021. HC on the basis of such confusing statements, has instructed the government for CBI or STF probe in DNA tests in the state.”

The HC pulled up police officials on such a confusing DNA testing process in serious cases, Advocate Dubey added.
