Delhi police battle to solve journalist's murder

New Delhi: A day after a 27-year-old woman television journalist was found shot dead in her car near her south Delhi home, police were on Wednesday still struggling to reconstruct the scene of crime and largely banking on forensic reports.

"We still have no clue how Saumya Vishwanathan was killed. A team of the Central Forensic Science Laboratory is again examining the car. Their report would largely help in constructing the scene of crime," a senior police official said.

No bullet in tyre

"But one thing is very clear - there was no bullet in the tyre of the car," the official said.

Vishwanathan, who was working with the production department of Headlines Today, was found dead in her car on Nelson Mandela Road in the Vasant Kunj area around 3.30am Tuesday. She was returning home from work.

Doctors found a bullet in her head during the autopsy.
