SRINAGAR: Blood samples of four policemen arrested for alleged destruction, dissipation and suppression of evidence in the rape and murder of two women in south Kashmir's Shopian town have been collected.
Official sources said the samples were taken from the then Shopian Police Superintendent Javed Iqbal, Deputy Superintendent of police Rohit Baskotra, Station House Officer Shafeeq Ahmad and Sub-inspector Qazi Abdul Karim well past 9pm last night.
The blood samples of the policemen, currently under police custody, were taken on the directions of the Jammu and Kashmir High Court which earlier this week had ordered the arrest, preparation of DNA profiles and narco-analysis of the four suspended police officers and their production before the Registrar judicial for collection of their blood samples so that their DNA profiles are prepared. The counsel for the arrested police officials, however, alleged the blood samples were taken "under duress".
