It is noteworthy to mention that on 19.11.2010, at about 12 noon, PW27 Surender Gupta, received information from Police Station Mahindra Park informing that their Swift car bearing No. DL 7CD- 8474 was found abandoned near Mandi.

On 18.11.2010, at about 6-6:30 PM, he parked the said car outside the residence of the deceased and kept the keys of the car on the table, near TV, in the drawing room and left for his home.

The statement of PW10 was recorded by the Police officials on 19.11.2010. After about 9-10 days of the murder of the deceased, PW10 was called at Tihar jail where he identified one maid servant of the deceased. In the mid January, 2011, PW10 identified the keys of the Swift car of the deceased at the Rohini Courts. PW10 had duly identified the appellant Sangeeta in the Trial court as the maid servant who was working at the house of the deceased who used to cook food for the deceased. PW10 also correctly identified the keys of the Swift car in the Trial Court.
