Water tight case for Shiney : DNA test confirms sexual intercourse
IMP News Wire June 30, 2009
The reports of the DNA test conducted on Shiney Ahuja puts the actor in the back foot. The actor had allegedly raped his maid servant in his flat on June 14. The DNA reports have confirmed Shiney had sex with the girl. Shiney who was arrested on June 15 is serving his 14 day judicial custody in Mumbai's Authur Road Jail.
Shiney's DNA has been found to match the sperm found on his maid's clothes. The material used for the DNA test included bedsheets and clothes. The preliminary medical examination conducted on the victim had indicated injury marks on her private parts, suggesting forced intercourse. Shiney's blood and urine tests had confirmed that the actor was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the incident.
The police now feel they have enough evidence to grill the actor. There were rumours that the actor claimed of having consensual sex with the girl. The victim however has maintained she was raped and threatened of dire consequence by Shiney. Legal experts say that the DNA report together with the victim's statement is enough to put Shiney behind bars.
The forensic test report of actor Shiney Ahuja (36), accused of raping his 20-year-old maid, received by the police on Monday, confirmed the presence of his DNA in the maid’s vaginal swab samples.
The forensic report strengthens the police case against Ahuja, with preliminary medical tests having confirmed that the maid was indeed assaulted.
Toxicology tests on the actor’s blood and urine samples had earlier ruled out the presence of alcohol or drugs in his body.
Experts from the Directorate of Forensic Science Laboratory visited the actor’s apartment soon after his arrest on June 14. Specimens collected included the undergarments of the actor and the victim, the bedsheets and curtains.
Blood and saliva samples of both, as well as the vaginal swab of the victim, were also taken.
“With this, Ahuja’s involvement has been proved beyond doubt,” said a top police officer. “It will enable us to put up a watertight case in court.”
