As the deadline to file a charge sheet in connection with the murder of the MBBS student at Bandstand approaches, the Mumbai Crime Branch’s Unit 09 made its fourth attempt to locate her remains. They hope to find the body to strengthen their case, which is based solely on circumstantial evidence, and present it convincingly in court.
In their fourth attempt, the crime branch on Thursday excavated an area located behind accused Mithu Singh’s residence at Bandstand, Bandra. Sources told mid-day that a team from Unit 09, along with its in-charge, was seen at the location with hoes and other equipment to dig the area. “Around five to 10 officers were present for nearly two hours, digging up the open space that is actually a small garden where children usually play. They dug up the area and then covered it back with soil,” said a source from Bandstand.
