Forensic experts from Srinagar were also called to the spot for scientific examination,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The SSP said that initial suspicions of kidnapping and external involvement were ruled out after detailed investigation. \u201cCCTV footage and forensic evidence pointed towards the victim\u2019s elder sister. Bloodstained clothes recovered from a relative\u2019s house and hair strands of the accused found in the deceased\u2019s hands confirmed her role,\u201d Poswal said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He added that the elder sister initially attempted to mislead investigators but later broke down during questioning. \u201cShe admitted that both sisters had gone to their land, where a scuffle broke out. In a fit of rage, she struck her younger sister with an iron rod.
