Strange scenes were witnessed inside the Pathankot district and session’s court, hearing the brutal rape and murder case of an eight-year-old nomadic girl of Rasana (Kathua), when the envelope containing hair of the victim, which was produced in the court by Special Investigating Team (SIT), turned out to be empty, well placed sources informed.
“The envelope with seven seals/stamps of the FSL, which conducted the DNA test of the victim’s hair, was opened in the court on judge’s order but there were no hairs inside the envelope,” sources said. The hairs were collected by the SIT from Devsthan, where, as per the Crime Branch charge sheet, the victim was kept captive in sedated condition.
