Cuttack (Orissa), August 21: In order to ascertain the father of a two-month-old girl, blood samples of the infant, her mother and a police sergeant were sent to Kolkata for DNA test.
The DNA test of the trio was needed to ascertain the father of the girl following orders from Orissa High Court.
While the child’s mother, Subhasree Naik of Nayagarh district, claimed that police sergeant Bhabani Prasad Jena of Nawarangpur district is the father of the girl, the policeman denied the claims of his estranged wife.
Bhabani and Subhashree separated in June 2007 after the woman charged him and his family members with demands of dowry.
Subhashree gave birth to the girl on June 16 and approached several forums including the state women commission seeking justice and alimony from Bhabani.
Although, the women commission had ordered the husband to pay alimony, Bhabani was unmoved.
