Aug 29 2015 : The Times of India (Mumbai) Bora's remnants in J J Hosp too found, sent for DNA tests  Sumitra Deb Roy & S Ahmed Ali TNN  Mumbai:  TNN    Mumbai police have collected the human remnants believed to be Sheena Bora's that were sent to J J Hospital by the Raigad police for examination in 2012 and sent them for forensic test.JJ authorities found the charred remains tucked away in one of the locked rooms of the anatomy department.They include a few bones, strands of hair, nail and tooth. The Raigad police had sent the samples on May 25, 2012, but never bothered to collect the findings. “In December 2013, we had written to them saying the samples were not adequate to determine the age or gender of the deceased. We also wrote that the cause of death could not be found out,“ said Dr T P Lahane, dean of JJ Hospital.They never got any response. Lahane added that in the same correspondence, it was told to the Raigad police that they should collect the remains. “We cannot dispose of human remains on our own. It is usually handed over to the police station concerned that takes a call on whether to preserve or destroy it,“ he said.The hospital is still in possession of samples, mainly bones, which are as old as 30 years. A forensic expert said bones can be preserved for ever and used to extract DNA. “We have collected the bones from JJ hospital.They have been sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) at Kalina for various tests,'' said Deven Bharti, joint commissioner of police (law and order). The Kalina lab is gearing up for a barrage of samples.Besides the J J samples, a team of experts have collected exhumed bones purported to be Sheena's from Raigad.An official said since it is a high profile case, they would try to wrap up the initial round of tests in 4-7 days. Police said the DNA test will be done to establish whether the remains were of Sheena by comparing the DNA profiles with that of her mother Indrani Mukerjea and sibling Michail Bora. “We can establish maternity as the least,“ said an expert.
