In an affidavit filed before the bench of Justices S C Dharmadhikari and Gautam Patel, the CID denied that her death was due to unnatural causes. It said she died of cardiac arrest due to excessive dose of alcohol.
However, the girl's parents today claimed before the Court that their daughter had never consumed alcohol and pointed out the discrepancies in reports of Sassoon Hospital in Pune and Kalina Lab, where the forensic tests were done.
The student Sanam Hassan's mother Nagina Hassan, a resident of Versova here, had moved court, demanded a CBI inquiry into the matter alleging that her daughter died under suspicious circumstances last year and the police probe was unsatisfactory.
According to the petition, the victim on October 3, 2012, had gone out with her friends for a party to celebrate her birthday. The next day her parents were informed that Sanam had been taken to the Ruby Hall Clinic where she was declared dead on arrival.
