Noida (UP): A week after the Noida police dug out skeletons of Nithari’s kidnapped children experts look at some serious loopholes in the case that leave them aghast.
The police began by digging out the skulls using primitive equipments. Experts feel that this has resulted in destroying crucial evidence that could have helped the case. DNA testing looks difficult since most bones and remains have been damaged in the digging.
"In a tropical country like India, where the bones gets degenerated fast, the chances of establishing a DNA profile become tough. Since the bones have been broken and damaged completely, it may become impossible to conduct DNA test of some of the remains," forensic expert Dr J Gowri Shankar says.
Take a look at some of the loopholes in the entire scene:
*Prime accused Satish alias Surinder was termed mentally unstable by the police without conducting any medical tests.
*No medical tests were done to prove sexual assault. In fact there were no full-fledged bodies, only skeletal remains and body pieces that were recovered from the drain.
Yet police declared the victims were sexually assaulted and then killed. The confession made by the accused was believed and even propagated as the motive without any supporting evidence.
*Crime scene was neither sealed nor guarded. No measures were taken to preserve the evidence. Two days after the arrests, parents were led inside the house. One of the parents even claimed that he had seen blood stained clothes and bedsheets inside the house. How is it possible the weapons of offence were still inside the crime scene three days after the arrest of the accused?
"The prime concern should have been to preserve the evidence by keeping the crime scene intact. Only scientific expert should have been allowed inside the house to lift fingerprints, foot prints or some weapon of offense," Former DGP of Uttar Pradesh Prakash Singh said.
"Whatever little that I know about the incident and the findings, I don’t think even slightest professional approach while dealing with the case," he added.
Looking back at the chronology of events, it was on January 1 2005 that a child went missing from Nithari village. Parents complained, but no FIR was registered. In the next two years, 37 more children went missing one after the other. Noida police failed to notice a pattern until it finally stumbled upon a mass grave in house number D-5 of Sector 31, Noida.
Nithari residents are aggrieved not only by the accused but also by the lax approach of the police—a belated investigation has given them some hope, but experts say loopholes in the police story might let the killers of Nithari walk free.
