Srinagar:
In a strange twist to the investigations into the case of alleged rape and murder of two women in Shopian, the doctor who conducted the post-mortem of the victims has reportedly told investigators that she submitted her own vaginal swab samples instead of one of the victim's.
DNA samples of Dr Nighat Chiloo and her husband were taken last week as asked for by the CBI after Chiloo's confession that one of the slides of the two victims were made out of her own vaginal swabs.
Dr Chiloo who works at the Pulwama district hospital had conducted the second post-mortem on the victims, Nelofar (22) and Asiya (17).
Hundreds of people had taken to the streets in Shopian town after the May 2009 tragedy.
The state government ordered several probes before the CBI took over the case on September 17.
Four police officers from Shopian were arrested on charges of destroying evidence.
The CBI will submit its probe report to the Jammu and Kashmir High Court on December 14.
