Exhibit
Original CCTV footage file extracted from Film City Studios Camera 11 DVR (Exhibit MP-FC-DIG-0001). Recording format: H.264, 1080p, 25fps. Time range analysed: 20:06:00 – 20:10:00. The specific event of interest: a subject entering Trailer Block C at 20:07:43, wearing a blue production jacket (rear text: "NK · DIRECTOR"), cap worn low obscuring the face. Reference request: estimate physical dimensions of the subject from available video data.
METHODOLOGY
The laboratory applied photogrammetric height estimation using known fixed-dimension reference objects within the camera's field of view. The primary reference was the entrance gate post (steel, verified on-site measurement: 198.0 cm from ground to cap plate). Secondary references used: door frame height (measured on-site: 211.0 cm), and painted ground markings (lane width: 120.0 cm). Camera angle (35° from vertical) and lens distortion parameters were corrected using calibration data recorded during a site visit on 16 February 2025. Multiple frames were averaged to reduce measurement error.
HEIGHT ESTIMATION — SUBJECT AT 20:07:43
| Frame (25fps index) | Pixel height of subject | Reference used | Estimated height (cm) |
|---|
| Frame 4429 (20:07:43.12) | 437 px | Gate post (198 cm) | 178.4 |
| Frame 4431 (20:07:43.20) | 441 px | Gate post (198 cm) | 179.0 |
| Frame 4435 (20:07:43.36) | 439 px | Door frame (211 cm) | 177.8 |
| Frame 4438 (20:07:43.48) | 440 px | Ground markings (120 cm) | 178.2 |
| Mean estimated height | 178.4 cm |
|---|
| Measurement uncertainty (±2 sigma) | ± 3.1 cm |
|---|
| Estimated range (95% confidence) | 175.3 – 181.5 cm |

The cap worn by the subject introduces minor uncertainty at the crown — estimates assume the top of the subject's visible silhouette corresponds to the cap brim, not the head crown. If a standard cap adds approximately 3–5 cm, the underlying estimated standing height of the subject would be 173–178 cm. All estimates in the table above represent the visible silhouette height only.
COMPARISON — REGISTERED HEIGHT OF NAMED SUSPECTS
Heights sourced from production cast/crew data sheet (Exhibit MP-FC-PHY-0022) and Film City Studios staff records, cross-referenced with medical registration forms where available.
| Name | Registered Height | Consistent with 175.3–181.5 cm range |
|---|
| Kapoor, Nandini | 161 cm | No |
| Rane, Sameer | 177 cm | Yes |
| Mehta, Tara | 168 cm | No |
| Kapoor, Dev | 183 cm | Marginal (above upper bound) |
| Bhatia, Priyanka | 163 cm | No |
GAIT ANALYSIS
Six frames showing the subject in motion were analysed for stride cadence, step length, and arm swing asymmetry. Gait data was compared against the normative range for persons of the estimated height and apparent build. No distinctive gait pathology is visible. Stride length is consistent with a relaxed walking pace. A slight right-arm lead during the approach phase is noted — an asymmetry present in approximately 22% of the general population. No definitive gait match can be established between this footage and any specific individual on the basis of this clip alone, due to the brevity of the visible walk (3.8 seconds) and the cap partially obscuring head carriage.
FSL Finding: On the basis of photogrammetric height estimation at 95% confidence, the subject visible on Camera 11 at 20:07:43 had a standing height within the range of approximately 175–181 cm. This range is incompatible with the registered height of Kapoor, Nandini (161 cm). The subject is therefore not identifiable as Kapoor, Nandini on biometric grounds alone. The subject's height range is compatible with one named person from the five suspects on file: Rane, Sameer (177 cm).
