‘Sajal’s blood matches the samples from rape victim’

The FSL did conduct detailed tests on the fluid samples taken from the victim and also on samples of blood and semen derived from the four main accused, the official said.

The Gujarat police is heavily dependent on the scientific findings of the 51-odd evidences gathered from the Ashok Palace hotel — where Bijal Joshi was allegedly raped and also from Jain’s car. The Gujarat police are still looking for three more persons who were allegedly involved in the rape.

Police today arrested Harishanker Jaiswal, father of Sugam Jaiswal, who is already in custody. Officials said Harishanker had allegedly destroyed crucial evidence including undergarments and belongings of the gangrape victim from his car that was driven by his son Sugam.

Jaiswal was declared absconding by the police last week just before his wife and daughter were arrested for their alleged involvement in destroying crucial evidence to shield Sugam..

The police has so far arrested 10 people in this case and are still on the hunt for two Ajmer-based persons who were alledgedly part of the gangrape. Interrogation of Jaiswal is expected to yield more clues.
