Jhabua police hid DNA findings for seven months

In a strange case from Indore, a woman who was thought to be dead has resurfaced. For nearly seven months, police held onto a DNA report that indicated the body they found did not belong to the missing woman. The police did not disclose this information until the defense raised it during a bail hearing in December 2024. Four men were charged with gang rape and murder in connection with her case. They had been arrested shortly after her disappearance in September 2023. The police had announced a breakthrough in the case and publicly presented the accused. On August 29, 2024, police received a DNA report that confirmed the body found was not biologically related to the woman's parents. Indore Range DIG Nimish Agarwal stated that it has now been discovered that the woman is alive. Authorities plan to summon her for identification, record her statements, and conduct a new DNA test.
