The suspected body parts recovered from the Mehrauli forest area are yet to be matched with the DNA of the victim’s father.

“His statements are frequently changing. He first told the investigators that he had thrown away the victim’s phone in Maharashtra but now he claims that he had dropped it somewhere in Delhi,” a source said.
