PATNA, Jan. 30 -- With no breakthrough even 24 days after the Jehanabad medical aspirant girl's death in Patna, the Special Investigation Team (SIT) is groping in the dark, collecting DNA samples of a large number of people. A senior police official said in past three days, since the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) established evidence of sperm on the cloth of the victim to corroborate postmortem findings, blood samples of 30 persons had been collected for DNA matching. "It will take at least a month or maybe more to get all the DNA reports," said the official. With the Budget session of the Bihar Legislature set to start from February 2, the Opposition has geared up to corner the government on the issue. It has already been backing the victim's family demanding a CBI probe and that will create pressure on the SIT to deliver. A forensic expert, however, said the sperm on the victim's cloth was likely to be of a 19-22-year-old youth. Based on the finding, the SIT has intensified its efforts to track the youth of that age. Another senior official said five suspects had been taken into custody and their interrogation was on. The SIT also carried out raids at the Shambhu Girls' Hostel owner Manish Ranjan's ancestral village under Makhdumpur police station in Jehanabad. The SIT has also collected documents and interrogated the family members and neighbours to elicit information when he was he was last seen there as well as the places he visited. The police officer said during interrogation, it came to light that Ranjan had returned from the village to Patna on January 5, the same day the girl also reached her hostel and was found unconscious in her room the next day. The SIT also found that a case had been registered with Makhdumpur police station against him. It was all revealed that he enjoyed connections with high-profile people. Purnea MP Rajesh Ranjan alias Pappu Yadav categorically said the police were still trying to shield the high-profile suspects by derailing the case. "There is a clear attempt to demoralise the family by taking DNA samples of family members, while the suspects remain free...a deep-rooted nexus did not allow the girl to survive," he added, alleging the role of Manish Ranjan and Neelam Agarwal's sons in the incident. He alleged money exchange had happened to suppress the case. He also raised the issue outside Parliament, demanding CBI probe....
