The crime branch of Ahmedabad's police has detected a 34-year-old murder case following the exhumation of skeletal remains from a well in a house located in the Vatva area of Gujarat, India. The remains are suspected to belong to a woman named Farzana, who was allegedly murdered by her husband and his brother in 1992 due to an extramarital affair. The couple had a tumultuous relationship, and after Farzana refused to separate, her husband reportedly conspired with his brother and others to kill her. The victim was taken to the house under false pretenses, where she was strangled while asleep. The body was then buried in an unused well. Recently, family members of the suspects began experiencing dreams about the victim, which led to rumors and ultimately a police tip-off that resulted in the discovery of the remains. The bones have been sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory for DNA profiling, and police are working to confirm the identity of the remains through comparison with DNA samples from the victim's brother. A formal First Information Report will be filed once the DNA results are confirmed.
