The FSL forensic report in the Chandkheda girls' deaths case has failed to establish any cause of death. The report, submitted to the civil hospital on Monday, offers no concrete clues, leaving investigators and doctors without answers.
The case now hinges entirely on the pending histopathology report from B J Medical College.
According to hospital sources, "Both bodies underwent a panel postmortem, and viscera samples were examined. However, neither the postmortem nor the FSL report found any trace of poisonous substances." A senior doctor, speaking on condition of anonymity, said, "We expected clarity from the FSL forensic report after the panel postmortem of Raha. But even that has not confirmed any toxic substance. Now, only the histopathology tests can help determine whether the deaths were due to disease, allergy, infection, food poisoning or any other suspicious reason."
The deaths of 3-year-old Misty and 3-month-old Raha sparked allegations that both died after consuming dosa batter from a local dairy. The family reportedly bought the batter from a nearby dairy outlet, after which both children fell ill and died, raising suspicions of food poisoning. Police have registered a case of accidental death and are investigating on multiple fronts.
Probe hits dead end
Chandkheda police have questioned family members, including parents and relatives, but no conclusive evidence has emerged. Chandkheda inspector J K Makwana could not be reached for comment. On April 7, Raha's body was exhumed and samples were sent to the FSL. Even that analysis has yielded no decisive findings. Viscera samples were also sent to the histopathology lab at B J Medical College. Doctors say histopathology can uncover hidden causes such as internal infections, allergic reactions or underlying medical conditions that may not show up in standard forensic tests.
Lie detector test likely
With the investigation at a standstill, police are considering a lie detection test of the parents to uncover the truth behind the deaths.
