New Delhi: Terming the reported findings of a Chandigarh forensic laboratory that former Miss Jammu Anara Gupta was indeed the girl in the porn CD as a desperate attempt made by Jammu and Kashmir police to save its skin, the girl's family today (Feb 9, 2005) said it would approach the President and Prime Minister seeking a CBI probe in the case.

"Police is again using its old tactics of misusing the media... It is again planting a concocted story to save its skin," Anara's Delhi-based maternal uncle Sanjoy Sachdev told reporters.

Sachdev said they would by tomorrow submit memoranda to President A P J Abdul Kalam and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh appealing for the case to be handed over to CBI.

"We have been from the start saying we have no faith in Jammu and Kashmir police and want a CBI probe in the matter," he said.

Questioning the reported forensic findings of the Chandigarh lab, Sachdev said, "It is claimed in the media reports that Jammu and Kashmir police sent CDs to the Chandigarh forensic lab on January 27. But how could it do it when the case had long before been handed over to the Crime Branch."

Claiming that the involved policemen were trying to save their skin by "planting" the story about the new forensic tests, he said, "The advocate representing in court, the six policemen suspended in connection with the case came on TV providing the details about the report. What is his locus standi to disclose the report?"
