• 1:58:13 am: A scooty, with two occupants, can be seen • 1:58:38 am: A car, Maruti Suzuki Baleno, can be seen coming from the other direction. The car, silver in colour, which allegedly had the body of Anjali entangled on the left front tire, can be seen leaving behind a trail of blood. • 2:03:43 am: A police van, on patrol, can be seen going in the same direction. What inference can be drawn?
