Actress Ranjitha was in Swami's sex video: CID
The CID has thwarted the claims by Sandalwood actress Ranjitha that she was not part of the Swami Nithyananda sex video. The investigators have now said forensic reports show that she was indeed in the video.
Ranjitha had claimed that she was not the woman in the video, but the CID, after comparing her photograph and the video with the help of the Forensic Science Lab (FSL) came to the conclusion that she was indeed in the video clip.
Handling of proof at Noida hospital raised many questions
CBI may have decided to close the probe in the Aarushi murder case but questions still persist about the strange manner in which forensic evidence was handled and postmortem report prepared. Despite a lengthy probe, little is known about what went inside the Noida district hospital after Dr Sunil Dohere conducted postmortem on Aarushi's body on May 16, 2008.
‘Costly’ reason not to use Touch DNA
A major reason behind CBI’s decision not use an advanced DNA profiling technique — the Low Copy Number (LCN) or Touch DNA — to examine evidence in the murders of Aarushi Talwar and Hemraj Banjade was allegedly its prohibitive cost. The investigating team from Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) was required to pay £60,000 — around R42 lakh — to a British forensic laboratory to access its expertise in using the LCN technique and examine a few key samples found at the crime scene, from which regular DNA profiling techniques could not extract much, said an agency source.
