This is a joke right? How can a DNA sample determine if a person has, or has not consumed alcohol? Surely, that is done by a blood test, and a test that is not done days or weeks after the alleged incident, after the long delay in the passage of time,will anything even show in the blood test? Who is in charge of this shambolic investigation.

Nothing substantial is expected as a result of aftermath of a cleverly excuted operation involving switching of blood and alcohol containing bottles to the clean ones. The DNA testing which may take months to divulge results, will hardly make any dent as the matter would be hushed up by that time. That is a common tactics employed by those who make things difficult when they are reluctant to take action. It is not a rocket science to visualize an event which was exposed by no other than CJP, to follow the rules and get the bottles of booze secured sealed, and blood samples sent to lab. to locations outside Sind to ward off any swapping or distortion of test results. This being purposely ignored for reason best known, this effort is a prelude to damage control and nothing else & should be taken with pint of salt to begin with. Rest assured, things will move on as per their normal course until another similar event happens. Let us keep our fingers crossed for a better outcome whatsoever.

LEAs operating in Sindh are equally corrupt and incompetent just like corrupt to the core Sindh government. Sorry state of affairs in Sindh.
