Ashley goes for DNA tests.......

The things were different at Savita’s cabin as we used the stairs to reach her passing through the stinking toilets and ammunition room of police station.

‘Look Ashley, I insisted for an FIR because longer the delay, stronger is the suspicion. I wanted to avoid the situation where we will have to give reasons in the courts for any delay by the complainant. The defense counsel may bring out false accusations theory against you,’

‘I understand that and I believe you Savita,’ I agreed.

‘However, I’ll mention your physical condition for the delay in the full statement,’

‘Thanks for your kind concern,’ I obliged to Savita.

I had to answer few “W’s”  which were written on the FIR like what happened, who committed the crime, on whom the crime was committed, when, where, why, witnesses along with what was taken away and what traces were printed by the accused in the house.

‘Are you sure about the doctor’s here?’ Sammy asked Savita as he looked wary of the hospital.

‘Of course, this is the government hospital and the doctors are reliable,’ she nodded.

‘I need a bath seriously,’ I said in a low voice.

Once we reached there, I took Sammy aside and gave him a small bag which had few garments of mine that I picked up from my drawer.

‘These are few things of mine and I need you to keep in your custody. I seriously need a bath soon. I’m so much trouble to you,’

‘No, never, Not today at least,’ Sammy replied as he looked straight into my eyes.

The nurse stopped in the doorway as she held a pan of hot water, soap and a towel. The doctor followed her and came straight to us accompanying Ajay. The nurse entered the adjacent room meant for the examination and tests as Savita hovered around.

‘This is Dr Madhu, Sexual Assault examiner, part of our team,’ Ajay said as he introduced her.
