Cops find burnt human bones in Dahej

Vadodara: The bones that were found from an abandoned house in Atali village in Dahej have turned out to be that of a human. The district police had found the bones from the house four days ago when they were looking for Sweety Desai, wife of a police inspector Ajay Desai, who has been missing for over 40 days. The bones that were in slightly burnt condition were sent to Surat forensic science laboratory (FSL) for testing.
“We have been informed that the bones appear to be that of a human. Though, the gender of the person hasn’t been ascertained yet. We will now send them for further tests to Gandhinagar FSL. Also, we will try to extract DNA from the bones,” said a police official.
Thirty-seven-year old Sweety had gone missing from her house in Karjan on June 5. Her husband, Ajay Desai, who was special operations group (SOG) police inspector before being put in leave reserve, had told the police that Sweety left the house on her own. Sweety’s brother then filed a missing persons complaint with the Karjan police but they didn’t investigate the case properly for nearly a month.
The police said that it had been camping in Dahej for nearly six days as Ajay had said that Sweety used to visit Dahej often. Ajay also underwent a polygraph test on Tuesday. The police had approached the court and sought permission to conduct a polygraph test of Ajay. They got permission on Monday. The cops are hoping to get some clues of Desai’s wife Sweety’s whereabouts from the polygraph tests.
