Haryana Man's Remains Exhumed in 2021 Murder Probe
In Haryana, a man named Mohamad Azim went missing in 2021 and was later found dead.
Police investigated the death as a possible murder.
Now, four years later, his body has been dug up for a DNA test.
This is because the police had previously thrown away some DNA samples.
Azim's brother believes he was murdered due to a love affair.
The police arrested four people in relation to this case.
A court ordered the DNA test to help solve the case, comparing remains to the mother's DNA.
This helps to confirm the identity of the body and provide more evidence.
Remains of Mohamad Azim were exhumed in Haryana for a DNA test.
The exhumation is part of a murder investigation related to events in 2021.
Azim's body was found in February 2021, a month after he went missing.
Azim's brother alleges his death was due to an affair.
A court ordered the DNA test after previous samples were reportedly destroyed.
