Sudesh Kataria and Jyotsana Gulia have been in the city since Sunday and have refused to take Gadoli&rsquo;s body till a fair probe is instituted into his death.

Autopsy reports said Gadoli suffered three bullet wounds, one in the chest that exited through his back and two more &mdash; on either side of his torso &mdash; that ruptured his internal organs and were lodged inside him.

Sudesh and Jyotsana told mid-day that this clearly showed Gadoli was killed while he was sleeping. They also said the Mumbai Crime Branch has not even begun its enquiry into the circumstances of the probe.

The sisters have even started their own parallel investigation and have already collected what they say is evidence to show that the cops had a mole in the group that was traveling with Gadoli. They said this mole &ndash; a Kazakh call girl or an Indian woman friend &ndash; constantly gave information about their brother&rsquo;s location to the Haryana police.
"We want justice for our brother," Sudesh told mid-day. "We won&rsquo;t claim his dead body from the JJ mortuary till the Mumbai police book the Gurgaon police team for the cold-blooded murder."

The sisters have not slept properly for the last two days, with even their luggage kept in one corner of the mortuary. The only time they left the mortuary was to check into the same hotel where their brother was killed to ferret out &lsquo;evidence&rsquo; to prove that it was a fake encounter.

Atulchandra Kulkarni, Joint Commissioner of Police, Crime Branch, told mid-day: "Our investigation is underway and whoever has anything to share pertaining to the case, including the relatives of the deceased, will be approached by our probe team."
Forensic findings On Monday night, a panel of three forensic surgeons from the Department of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology, Grant Medical College and Sir JJ Group of Hospitals, conducted the autopsy on Gadoli, 32. The procedure was delayed as the magisterial inquest panchnama was completed only by 6 pm on Monday. The body also had to be x-rayed to identify the locations of the bullets lodged inside Gadoli&rsquo;s body.
Dr SS Bhise (associate forensic professor), Dr PS Dode and Dr Ajay Kamble (both resident forensic surgeons) noted a total of three entry wounds and one exit wound. A bullet each was fired into Gadoli&rsquo;s right and left abdomen, which ruptured his liver. The third bullet had entered the body from the left shoulder and came out from the left chest anterior side, damaging the left lung.
The provisional cause of death was given as "shock and hemorrhage due to firearm injuries (unnatural)". The procedure was videotaped. The surgeons have sent the skin around the entry and exit area of the bullets to the FSL, Kalina. The burn marks caused by the gunpowder will help the forensic surgeons ascertain the range from which the bullets were fired.
Gadoli&rsquo;s nail clippings have been preserved to check for any other person&rsquo;s DNA. The forensic experts also washed Gadoli&rsquo;s handwash (water used to rinse the deceased person&rsquo;s hands), which will be tested for carbon residues to ascertain if he had fired a weapon.
Mole in the gang? Sudesh and Jyotsana alleged that the Gurgaon police had used a woman as a mole to track Gadoli. Sudesh said Gadoli had told her on Tuesday that he was going to Goa with friends.
"We did not suspect any foul play, as he was unmarried and was known to go underground fearing the Gurgaon police," said Sudesh. "At 12.30 am on Sunday, we started WhatsApp messages that Mumbai TV channels were airing news about Sandeep&rsquo;s killing in an encounter. We started calling senior police officials, but got no reply."
Sudesh said it was actually the Mumbai police who called them, and even they only told them Gadoli was injured and just asked us to come to Mumbai. Jyotsana alleged that within minutes of landing at Mumbai airport, she called a Gurgaon police officer who said Sandeep was dead.
The sisters said that sometime in November 2015, this police officer &ndash; presently detained by Mumbai Crime Branch &ndash; had threatened to kill their brother in an encounter. (mid-day has withheld his name as we could not confirm his identity from the Gurgaon police)
"He had said &lsquo;Uske seene mein goli maroonga&rsquo; (I will shoot him in the chest)," said Sudesh. "We were so worried that we called for a press conference in Gurgaon on December 1, 2015 and made public our fear that the police may kill Gadoli in a fake encounter. "The cops retreated after that, but Sandeep spoke about going underground. Exactly two months after the press conference, the police officer did exactly what he had threatened to do. He shot my brother when he was asleep."
