Another twist in Shopian rape and murder case

Shopian(J-K), Sep 29 (PTI) In the latest in the series of
twists and turns in the alleged Shopian rape and murder case,
a forensic probe has found that one of the two young victims
was a virgin in evidence suggesting the girl may not have been
raped.

A CBI team with the help of a special forensic team
comprising doctors from AIIMS and local medicos cam to this
conclusion during an on-the-spot examination of the body of
Aasiya, one of the two victims whose body was exhumed Monday
at a graveyard in Bonigham in this district.

The forensic experts have found that Aasiya's hymen was
intact, official sources said.

17-year-old Aasiya was found dead alongwith her
sister-in-law 22-year-old Neelofar in a stream here on May 30.

The forensic experts shared their finding with the
doctors of Mushawarat Majlis-e-Committee, an amalgam which
spearheaded the 47-day agitation against the alleged rape and
murder of the duo by suspected security personnel, who
were present at the site, the sources said.

A special CBI forensic team yesterday collected samples
from the bodies of the two women after exhuming them nearly
four months after their burial.

The team, comprising senior AIIMS doctors, collected a
number of samples from the bodies in a process that started at
7 AM and continued for nine hours. The Exhumation was carried
out after obtaining necessary approval of the family of the
two.

The CBI team was now trying to ascertain the motive
behind the murder or cause of death. The forensic experts
believed that some breakthrough was imminent once all the
tests were completed, the sources said. (MORE) PTI SKL
