Two to undergo DNA test in British woman rape case

Nearly a fortnight after a British woman was allegedly gangraped, Uttarakhand police have zeroed in on two persons including a Norwegian who will undergo DNA test.

After investigations, samples from the two suspects, identified as John from Norway and Khusaro, a Mumbai resident, have been collected and sent to a lab in New Delhi for DNA test, said a police official investigating the case.

While John came to Rishkesh as a tourist, Khusaro is running a Yoga centre in the town, he said, adding the two suspects have been asked not to leave the area till the DNA report is received.

In her complaint, 30-year-old British woman had alleged that the two persons including a foreigner gangraped her in Luxman Jhoola area near Rishikesh, 60 km from here, on the night of Mar 21. PTI DPTTwo to undergo DNA test in British woman rape case
