The Mumbai CP has ordered a fresh DNA test on Reshma Khairati Khan, the wife of BJP leader Hyder Azam Khan, to confirm her nationality. Police, probing the allegations that Reshma is a Bangladeshi national and had forged her documents to get an Indian passport, had sent her samples to Kalina Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) and a DNA report found she was born to Indian parents.

However, Commissioner of Police Sanjay Pandey, while taking a review of the case last week instructed the crime intelligence unit (CIU) to conduct another DNA test at a different forensic science laboratory. He has also asked the Crime Branch to not send samples to the Pune forensic lab that is in the jurisdiction of the central government.
