DNA analysis gives clean chit to teacher in minor's rape case

In a new twist to the alleged rape case of a 13-year-old minor girl inside a Nerul school, the Kalina FSL in its report has given a clean chit to the accused teacher. The report states that the accused teacher is not the biological father.

The wife of the accused, Anjali Shukla, now has written to the Chief Justice of Bombay High Court to direct the police for a second DNA test to confirm the FSL's reports and to immediately arrest the accused involved. On September 29 last year, the Nerul police registered a case against Harishankar Shukla alias Raj, for allegedly raping a class VII student inside the MGM school. The complainant in her statement had stated that she was raped inside the school twice between April and August 2016. 

The incident came to light after her parents learnt that she was four months pregnant. The incident had led to severe outrage. In the report, a copy of which is with DNA, the Directorate of FSL, Kalina has opined that Harishankar Shukla is excluded to be the biological father of product of conception (foetus). It further states that the victim is concluded to be the biological mother of product of conception.

"If the DNA report clearly states that my husband is innocent, the judiciary should discharge the case against him," said Anjali.
