In what may rule out sexual assault, an autopsy has found "no injuries to the private parts" of the Delhi woman who was dragged for several kilometres by a car in the early hours of January 1.

Victim Anjali Singh's mother was among those who suspected that it may not just be a case of the car hitting her scooter and then dragging her for 13 km, causing her death.

The report of the autopsy — done by a board of doctors at Maulana Azad Medical College — will be submitted to the police at 2 pm, sources said. 

For further tests, swab samples and shreds of her jeans have been preserved. 

The five men who were in the car have been arrested and charged with 'culpable homicide not amounting to murder', rash driving and causing death by negligence. Police had already said they found no evidence of sexual assault.

However, investigators have found a key witness — 20-year-old Anjali, who worked as an event manager, was with a friend, Nidhi, when the Maruti Baleno car hit her scooter. The friend, uninjured, fled the scene but Anjali's leg got stuck in the car's axle, sources told a TV channel. Nidhi is now a crucial eyewitness, police said.

Details of the accident emerged when cops re-charted the route the victim had taken after leaving a hotel at 1.45 am on January 1 after attending a New Year's party. CCTV footage showed two women leaving the hotel on a scooter, not very far from the spot of the accident in Sultanpuri area.
