    I hope they will take assistance of forensic and cyber literate professional team to investigate and find DNA obtained despite amateur work of first postmortem conducted as new technology will pinpoint the real culprits provided all the accused cooperate or give samples if they want to prove they are not the real accused.

    Thank you to the Hon'ble Supreme Court judges for upholding the Constitution and directing a reinvestigation through the SIT. We pray that even after her death, Sowjanya will finally receive justice. May her soul rest in peace. 🙏
