DNA confirms 2020 fire victim was man

DNA confirms 2020 fire victim was man

A big fire happened in a shop in Shahjahanpur almost five years ago.

The police thought the burnt remains they found were from animals, so they threw them away.

But later, a doctor who checks animals said the remains were actually from a person.

The police then did a special test called DNA to check, and it showed the remains were from an 18-year-old boy.

Now, the police think the fire might have been started on purpose to hurt the boy, so they are investigating it as a murder case and have accused three people.
