Panjab University Professor Arrested for Wife's Murder After 4 Years
A professor at Panjab University was arrested for the murder of his wife, which happened four years ago.
The police used a special brain test called BEOS profiling to find out that the professor was involved.
The wife was found dead in their home on the university campus with injuries and signs of strangulation.
The professor had earlier claimed that an outsider committed the crime, but the investigation showed no signs of forced entry.
The police also found that the professor's daughter mentioned an argument between the couple a day before the murder.
The professor was taken into police custody for further investigation.
Professor B B Goyal was arrested for the murder of his wife, Seema Goyal, four years after the incident.
Seema Goyal was found dead at their official residence on the Panjab University campus on November 4, 2021.
The cause of death was confirmed to be strangulation, with no signs of forced entry or missing valuables.
Police used Brain Electrical Oscillation Signature (BEOS) profiling to determine Goyal's involvement in the crime.
Goyal was produced before a local court and sent to a three-day police remand for further investigation.
