He said the seven-member NHRC team, which includes a forensic expert, headed by Senior Superintendent of Police Manzil Saini has completed their inquiry into alleged police encounter and returning to New Delhi on Wednesday.

After taking suo motu cognisance, the NHRC ordered an independent probe into the killings and its team arrived in Hyderabad on Saturday. They went to Mahabubnagar government hospital, where the bodies of the accused were preserved and also visited the shootout site at Chatanpalli.

The investigation team also recorded the statements of Disha’s family members and the four accused.
