The weapon which was claimed to be used in the crime was having blood stains which are detected to be non-human blood and also there was no eyewitness in the case.

Advocate Sachin Kumar Verma who represented the case in the court of 28 ADJ Hemant Kumar Raghuvanshi from District Legal Service Authority said that in the case accused Kalu Morey was alleged of killing his friend deceased Ramniwas Chouhan on June 1, 2019.
The prosecution represented the case in the court that on the night of June 1, 2019 the accused and deceased were together. They had drinks together and further after an altercation the accused Kalu attacked Ramniwas with a Hasiya (a curve shaped knife used for crop cutting). Later, after killing Ramniwas, Kalu took his body on a cart and at a construction site of Amrit Project situated in Rajendra Nagar Police Station he dumped the body. Further, he tried to burn his clothes and bedsheet near a nullah which were recovered by police having blood statins on them.
During the court proceedings the evidence was forensic examined in which it was found that the blood on the clothes and bed sheet does not match with the blood of the deceased.

However, the weapon was not sent for forensic and also the blood samples were collected through a cotton from it. During the forensic examination of the blood sample it was found that it is a non-human blood.
