The Colaba police are in the process of collecting circumstantial evidence to nail Anil Chugani, who is accused of killing three-year-old Shanaya Hathiramani by allegedly flinging her out of the seventh floor window of his flat. An officer privy to the investigation told mid-day that Chugani's psychological profile would likely be conducted at JJ hospital to integrate it with the circumstantial evidence that the Colaba police have gathered from the crime scene. "He has been telling us during interrogation that he is a victim of black magic and that he killed the girl to get rid of it. This could be his move to defend himself. So, now, we are in the process of conducting his psychological profile at JJ Hospital, which will be matched with the circumstantial evidence," said the officer.

Window 4 ft from ground

He said the window from where he flung Shanaya on Saturday evening is around 4ft from the floor and her height was a lot less than that. "This means the girl could not have climbed on to the window ledge and indicates that she was picked up and thrown out with some force. It is the reason that she [Shanaya] fell 20ft from the building," the officer said.
