Kumar said the sample taken on May 19 was thrown in a dustbin and the sample of some other person was sent to the forensic lab. This was done by Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Srihari Halnor. Divulging the details of the probe, he said Srihari Halnor replaced the blood sample on the instructions of the HOD Forensic Medicine Department of Sassoon, Ajay Tawre. Juvenile's father had called Dr Taware to replace blood samples, he added.
