The DNA samples were taken from a severed leg stuck between the car's accelerator and steering. Officials at a forensic science laboratory (FSL) verbally informed police about the finding, even as the complete DNA report was awaited. The DNA sample of Nabi's mother was collected in Pulwama and brought to Delhi.
