After getting a go-ahead from the Swiss embassy, the autopsy of Swiss national Nina Berger, who was found dead near an MCD school last week, was performed at DDU Hospital on Saturday, said Delhi Police.
DCP (West) Vichitra Veer said, “The Embassy had given the ‘go ahead’ for the autopsy and accordingly, a medical board was constituted and it conducted the procedure on Saturday.”
He said they have been coordinating with the Embassy through the established channel and are yet to get a “confirmation on the identity of the victim”. The autopsy report will be received in the coming days, added the DCP.
Police said the post-mortem was carried out after they received a No-Objection Certificate from the Embassy, which received consent from the Berger’s kin to carry out the procedure in their absence as they earlier expressed inability to come to India to identify the body.
The accused, Gurpreet Singh, is meanwhile in police custody for five days. “We have recovered his chats with Berger and are trying to ascertain what brought her to India in the first place… Singh used to deal in gemstones and we suspect he was in touch with other women…,” said an officer.
