Overview
- Chandigarh Police arrested Bharat Bhushan Goyal and obtained a three‑day remand to question him and reconstruct the events of November 4, 2021.
- Officers say BEOS profiling conducted at the National Forensic Sciences University in Rohini indicated experiential knowledge of the crime, which they argue supports his direct involvement.
- The case yielded no usable fingerprints, DNA, weapon, or CCTV sign of an outsider, CFSL‑36 concluded door meshes were cut from inside, and the postmortem found death by strangulation.
- A 2023 polygraph test of the couple’s daughter, Parul, showed deceptive indicators on key questions, which investigators describe as a turning point that intensified scrutiny of Goyal.
- Police now aim to recover the victim’s missing mobile phone and any possible weapon, while Panjab University says it will suspend Goyal following his arrest.
