New Delhi: A team from the Delhi Forensic Science Laboratory on Friday collected evidence from suspended AAP councillor Tahir Hussain's factory and inspected the spot where the body of Intelligence Bureau officer Ankit Sharma was found in North Delhi's Chand Bagh area.
Intelligence Bureau operative Ankit Sharma was brutally stabbed to death during the violence in northeast Delhi, the post-mortem examination has revealed.
