Even as a month has passed since Priyanka Gurav's brutally murdered and dismembered body parts were found, the remains are still at the JJ mortuary while her siblings await its return so they can pay their last respects.
Speaking to mid-day, her brother Ganesh Bhambre (28), said, "We have been told that it will take at least a few days more before the Rabale police can return the remains of our sister." Meanwhile, last Friday, Ganesh and his elder sister Kavita, also submitted their blood samples to conduct the DNA examination, which has already begun at FSL, Kalina.

Dr KY Kulkarni, acting director, FSL said, "We are in the process of procuring the special DNA kit from USA and it is likely to come in the next few days. The kit will help to ascertain the siblings' DNA, a facility not available in any of our laboratories as of now. This is the first case where the deceased's parents are not alive so her DNA has to be matched with that of her siblings."
