Police said the evidence was required to link Pacheco with 28-year-old Nadia, who died on May 30 after consuming poison. She was treated at Mumbai and Chennai hospitals before she breathed her last. (Read: 11 injury marks found on body of Goa woman: Police)

The public prosecutor said involvement of family members in the entire case could be verified only after thorough interrogation of Pacheco.
