Body of 16-year-old girl exhumed 52 days post burial for fresh investigation.
He said police have launched a detailed investigation into the case based on the fresh evidence. The exhumation was carried out at Shah Jamal graveyard under Kotwali police station limits in the presence of district officials, including City Magistrate Atul Gupta and police personnel, after a complaint prompted the district administration to order a fresh investigation. He alleged that despite informing the local police, no action was taken and that he later received death threats for pursuing the matter. After the complaint reached District Magistrate Avinash Kumar and senior police officials, the district administration ordered the exhumation.
Khan said he learnt the next day from neighbours that a teenage girl living in the house had died suddenly and had been buried before sunrise in the presence of family members. City Magistrate Atul Gupta said the body was exhumed after completing the required legal formalities and sent for a post-mortem.
