MBBS student murder: Bloodstains found on tube used to dispose body, say cops

The police will now be taking samples from Sane’s family to compare it with the samples that have been recovered from the tube. If there is a match, it would act as strong evidence against Singh who is currently lodged at the Arthur Road prison.

Apart from Singh, the police also arrested Abdul Ansari on January 15.

Sources said that during the probe the version of events that came forth was that Sane died allegedly during a tussle between her and Singh in which she fell on the rocks at Bandra Bandstand. She allegedly fought with Singh after she didn’t approve of his behaviour.

Sources said that after her head hit the rocks, she started bleeding from her head. Singh then rushed to get the floating tube and using that and a life jacket he allegedly took Sane’s body deep into the sea. He then fled from the spot and took the tube along with him.

“After we found details about what transpired that night, we searched his house again and found the tube. Following due panchnama procedure, we seized the tube and clothes worn by Singh that night,” the source said.

The source added, “On checking closely, we found some bloodstains on the tube which could belong to Sane. However, once the blood sample is checked with samples from her family, there will be clarity on it.” The police is likely to send both the samples for testing next week.

In the absence of the body of Sane being found, blood samples matching will be a major boost for the police that made the first arrests in the case nearly 13 months after Sane went missing.

Last year, the police had questioned Singh and also asked him to undergo lie detector test; however nothing was found. He was arrested last month.

Sane had on November 29, 2021 boarded a train at 9.58 am at Virar station and got off at Andheri as she was to appear for the prelims in JJ Hospital at 2 pm. However, she boarded another train and alighted at Bandra from where she took an auto to Bandstand.

As per police she was at Bandra the entire day and CCTV cameras captured her standing opposite Taj Lands End on Bandstand. Singh, who was arrested by the police on January 13, was the lifeguard on duty. He told the police that since she was going towards the sea, he suspected she was going to die by suicide and followed her.

He told the police that Sane told him that she was not going to die by suicide and the duo got talking. As per his statement, they sat on a rock till 3.30 am following which they took a few selfies on his phone and he left, as per his version. Ever since Sane has been missing.
