Introduction

Police used a DNA test to identify a body in a river. The body was a missing girl from Dehradun.

Main Body

In September 2025, a father reported his daughter, Riya, was missing. Police looked at phone records and cameras. They caught a man named Shahbaz. Shahbaz told the police he killed Riya. He said he killed her because she did not want to be with him. He and two other people put her body in a canal. Police found a body in the Yamuna river in October. The body was very old, so they could not see her face. On May 12, a lab test showed the body was Riya.

Conclusion

The DNA test proves the girl is Riya. Now the police have strong proof to put the killers in prison.
