Ghaziabad: CFSL chief scientist VK Mahapatra
on Thursday told a special CBI court that he neither found any blood
stains nor detected semen during forensic examination of the
samples related to three cases in the infamous Nithari
killings.
The chief scientist of the Delhi-based Central Forensic
Science Laboratory appeared as a witness in three cases,
including those of Choti Payal, Pushpa kidnappings and
murders, before judge Shyam Lal.
He confirmed that CBI had sent 13 knives duly sealed to
his laboratory, clothes and some other material which he
tested, but neither found blood stains on the knives and other
material nor traced any semen on clothes.
Sub-inspector Anil Pratap Singh, another witness,
confirmed that he had sent the clothes and other material for
scientific examination.
Surender Kohli and Moninder Singh Pandher, accused in the
cases, were brought under tight security at the court. Jail
superintendent Viresh Raj Sharma was also present with the duo
for their security.
Pandher's son Karandeep was present at the hearing to
keep a watch on his father as he was ailing for the last one
month. All the cases are being heard on daily or alternate
basis for their early disposal.
