Murdered techie Esther Anuhya’s father, S J Prasad, broke down in court yesterday, when speaking about the time he was called to identify the body.

Tears rolled down his cheeks as he stood in the witness box, answered questions, and recalled the time just before his daughter’s murder, while deposing in the case. He resumed speaking after drinking water. Prasad, who had come from Hyderabad, where he resides, testified before a special women’s court in a Mumbai Sessions court yesterday.
