The committee will closely examine the victim’s injuries and clothes. It will also compare the two conflicting post-mortem reports.
Investigators have been directed to take all possible steps to reach a conclusion. The team will submit its findings to the relevant court within the given timeframe. Daily progress reports will also be prepared.
