The report published in Mid Day reveals that signs of early pregnancy could be possible :"The body did not show any struggle or injury marks externally and internally. However, the stomach did contain some greenish fluid, which has been preserved for testing. Though the fluid did not have any peculiar smell, the stomach showed signs of erosion, which could be due to ingestion of drugs, alcohol or even medicine," said a surgeon.

The forensic surgeons also found, a whitish thick fluid, in the uterus, which is indicative of an early stage of pregnancy. Police Surgeon Dr SM Patil confirmed this.

"The fluid has been preserved and sent for histopathology tests, to confirm pregnancy and to rule out infection within the uterus." Dr Yogeshwar S Nandanwar, Professor and Head of the Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, LTMG Medical College, said, "The presence of the fluid could indicate either early stage of pregnancy or infection. Usually, apart from the thickening of the endometrial wall, a sack is visible within four to five weeks if it's pregnancy, but if the sack is not seen, then only a histopathology test can confirm pregnancy."
