Court asks police to furnish Ram Vriksha's DNA report

A local court today issued a notice to police, asking them to submit the DNA test report of Jawahar Bagh encroachers' leader Ram Vriksha Yadav to back their claim that he is dead.
Additional District Judge VS Tripathi passed the order during a hearing in a 2011 case in which Ram Vriksha was an accused and a non-bailable warrant was issued against him.
The prosecution said that on March 10, 2011, Ram Vriksha and his associates had a scuffle with employees at Baba Jai Gurudeo petrol pump since they were not selling him petrol at 40 litres per rupee.
An FIR was registered against Ram Vriksha and his associates at Highway police station in the case. Since Ram Vriksha and his associates did not turn up in the court in the case, non bailable warrant was issued against them.

The police had earlier submitted before the court that Ram Vriksha is dead, following which they were asked by it to conduct a DNA test of his viscera and match it with his family members' DNA sample. The next hearing in the case is scheduled for August 1.
