The city police, who are still groping in the dark to find the assailants in the Esther Anuhaya murder case, have detained four persons for their suspected involvement in the case.
"We have detained four persons in connection with the case and and have conducted DNA tests on them. The test reports are awaited," Mumbai Police Commissioner Satyapal Singh told reporters here today.
Those detained are auto and taxi drivers and some of them have criminal antecedents, he added.
Three police teams have been formed and with the help of her mobile phone call data record, the victim's last known location has been traced, Singh added.
"Our investigation is going on the right direction and I am very sure that this case will be solved very soon," he said.
The partially decomposed body of Esther was found near the Eastern Express Highway in central Mumbai last week.
