Khooni is proud to collaborate with the #DNAfightsrape, Save the Evidence Campaign, by Ogilvy, to bring you stories on how DNA evidence has been used to solve difficult cases and achieve justice for victims and their families. In this episode we share the harrowing story of Gudiya, and how genealogical testing of DNA was used for the first time in India, to solve a diabolical case of rape and murder. Plus, other cases from around the world where this method has been successful. You can follow the Campaign below : 1. Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/wheresthedna/?hl=en 2.
