Kathmandu, September 30
The parents of the teenager who was raped and murdered in Bhimduttanagar in July have questioned police investigation into the case saying that the vaginal swab used for DNA testing may not be that of their daughter.’
The DNA swab reportedly obtained from Nirmala Pant’s body has been seen as the only piece of evidence of the crime as the final rites of the deceased has already been performed. The parents’ comments hours after police said that the DNA of the prime suspect in the case: Dileep Singh Bista did not match with the DNA found in the swab. Similarly, DNA tests conducted on other names linked to the case: SP Dilli Raj Bista, his son Kiran and Bhimdutta Mayor’s nephew Ayush Bista have also been negative.
