Faridabad:
Forensic experts in Haryana have concluded that the fire which killed two Dalit children and injured their parents started inside their house and not outside as claimed by the victims, reports said.
The Haryana forensic team, that visited the village yesterday, has submitted its report to the Central Bureau of Investigation which took over the case from the state police this week.
Two children had died and their parents were badly burnt in the incident in Sunped in Faridabad on October 20 allegedly carried out by villagers from another community.
The team of Haryana experts reportedly found a half-burnt kerosene oil plastic bottle under the partially burnt bed and a burnt match stick lying on a slab next to the window of the room.
The spot examination revealed "no traces of outside entry into the premises when the alleged attack took place," the forensic examination found, media reports said.
The Forensic Science Laboratory or FSL which carried out the tests declined to make any statement.
The forensic report purportedly raises questions on allegations made by Jitender, the father of the two children, who had said that his house was set on fire by men from outside the house.
His four-year-old son Vaibhav and eight-month-old daughter Divya had died due to burn injuries suffered in the incident while he and his wife Rekha were injured.
"I don't have faith in what is being said because they can easily be influenced by the other side which is more powerful. Let the CBI investigate and give it's report," Jitender told NDTV.
Six of the 11 accused in the incident have been arrested so far. They were sent to four days police custody today.
The Haryana Police, in its initial investigation, had said that the attack was linked to a clash last year, in which three people from the other community were killed.
