But they are required to be present in the CDO office for the next two years on the date given for their appearance,” said police spokesperson.
“There is no issue with the report and there is no trace of a homicide in the report,” he said, referring to the visceral report need for which necessitated on June 16 after the postmortem report fell silent on the cause of the death.
