Overview
- Professor B B Goyal was arrested this week and placed on a three‑day remand that ends Thursday, with police now saying he has been evasive in questioning and seeking more custody.
- Investigators say the cutter allegedly used to slice the door mesh has not been recovered, and they continue efforts to trace the victim’s missing mobile phone and any possible weapon.
- Police cite a 2025 BEOS brain‑mapping test at the National Forensic Sciences University that indicated experiential memory, following a 2023 polygraph of the couple’s daughter that showed deceptive responses.
- Forensic reviews reported no forced entry, mesh panels cut from inside, no outsider on CCTV, and no usable fingerprints, DNA, or weapon, while the postmortem found death by strangulation with limbs bound.
- Panjab University officials say Goyal will be suspended within 48 hours of his arrest, with termination possible upon conviction, and police note the daughter has not yet joined current questioning.
