The recreated face

The Ambernath police have finally crack a murder case eight months after finding the skull and body of a man in Jawasi village. They took the help of a forensics doctor to recreate the man's face and sent out photos to all police stations.

On April 10, 2018, the Ambernath police found a skull near the electric board at the village. A villager had tipped off the police and a team of police officers started searching the area. They soon found a headless body, too. ACP Sunil Patil, who started the investigation, said, "At that point, we found a tattoo stating 'Chand' on the body. That was not enough to find out who the person was. I discussed this with Dr Harish Pathak, professor and head of the department of forensic medicine and technology at KEM hospital and Seth GS Medical College. He told us that with the help of superimposition technology we could create a 3D face of the person. Within four months, Dr Pathak and his team had recreated the man's face."
