Indore boy's death: Parents' DNA samples don't match with body

Police probing the death of a 17-year-old boy, who had allegedly decamped with Rs 22 lakh cash and valuables from his own house here in 2012, have submitted before the local court the DNA report of the body recovered from Maharashtra five years back.
As per the report submitted by the police, the DNA samples of the body recovered in Maharashtra did not match those of the parents of the boy, who was allegedly killed in 2012.
The police submitted the DNA report before Additional Sessions Judge (ADJ) Keshavmani Singhal yesterday. The findings of the report has given a new twist to the case.

The State Forensic Science Laboratory in Sagar had made the report after analysing the DNA samples of the body recovered from Maharashtra as well as the deceased boy's parents.
The court has posted the next hearing in the case on August 3, defence counsel Mahendra Maurya told reporters today.
"The lab report stated that the DNA samples did not match that of the boy's parents," Maurya said.

A police officer said that on July 1, 2012, the investigators had got information about the drowning of a person at Malegaon in Nashik district in Maharashtra.
As the deceased could not be identified, the Maharashtra police had buried it after the post-mortem. However, based on the interrogation of the accused in the case, the Indore police had got the body exhumed.

The police officer said that the post-mortem report said that the deceased had drowned, although Madhya Pradesh had concluded that the deceased had died of strangulation.
On June 25, 2012, the boy's mother had complained to Annapurna Police station in Indore that her son had decamped with Rs 21 lakh cash and jewellery worth Rs one lakh.
During the probe, the police had found that the boy had made the last call from his cell phone to his friend at Shirdi in Maharashtra on June 28, 2012.
According to the prosecution, the boy's friends had killed him and threw his body from the car and later distributed the cash and jewellery. The accused in the case are being tried.
