Shraddha Walkar murder: How does DNA testing work? Why does it take so much time?
DNA profiling was first developed in 1984 by Alec Jeffreys in the UK. Now, police are using it to build a case against Aftab Poonawala DNA is set to play a big role helping solve the Shraddha Walkar murder. A serving Delhi Police officer said since the accused and Shradha were in a live-in relationship, the case would be “strengthened by forensic evidence and DNA samples of the recovered body parts or blood stains if any.” But how does DNA testing work? Forensic scientists can identify a particular DNA profile by using blood, semen, saliva, urine, faeces, hair, teeth, bone, tissue and cells found at a crime scene to samples taken from a suspect. After all, DNA has been used to crack several high-profile cases in India including the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi, the murder of Naina Sahni, the paternity case of former Union minister ND Tiwari, the Priyadarshini Mattoo case, the Delhi bus gangrape case, the Hyderabad blasts case and to convict Bollywood actor Shiney Ahuja.
