A day after the CBI recovered the body remains and valuables allegedly belonging to the missing nurse Bhanwari Devi, her son Sahil on Sunday identified her wristwatch and earring.

The CBI had on Saturday recovered key evidence including a watch, jewellery parts and body remains from Rajiv Gandhi canal near here.

Sources in the agency had claimed that the items could prove crucial in cracking the mysterious death of the 36-year-old woman.

Bhanwari's son Sahil was called by the CBI to identify the objects. “He has identified the wrist watch and earring,” confirmed a source.

The identification of Bhanwari's belongings by her son has corroborated the statement of one of the main accused, Kailash Jakhar, who had said that he threw Bhanwari's belongings in the canal.

The CBI had also recovered some clothes belonging to Kailash Jakhar, which have been sent to CFSL for forensic examination.

A team of forensic experts also revisited Jakhar's SUV, a Scorpio, which was reportedly used by the accused to take the body to Jaloda for final disposal.
