Kolkata, March 31 (NationPress) The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is rigorously scrutinizing mistakes in the case diary from the preliminary investigation carried out by the Kolkata Police’s special investigation team concerning the R.G. Kar rape and murder case. The CBI is investigating whether these discrepancies suggest evidence tampering or manipulation.
The CBI plans to present this case diary to the Calcutta High Court’s single-judge bench of Justice Tirthankar Ghosh on the third day of the new hearing next month. Additionally, the CBI’s counsel is anticipated to argue how these errors support the theory of intentional evidence alteration.
This case originated on August 9 of the previous year, when the remains of a junior female doctor were discovered in a seminar hall at the state-operated R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata. The initial investigation was handled by the Kolkata Police’s special investigation team until the Calcutta High Court transferred it to the CBI. During this transition, the city police handed over its case diary to the central investigative agency.
Recently, the CBI submitted its own case diary resulting from its independent inquiry. Sources indicate that upon reviewing the original case diary, CBI officials noted significant errors—so fundamental that even an inexperienced officer would not be expected to make them. If these mistakes are proven to be intentional, it could result in disciplinary action against the involved officers.
Legal analysts suggest that a comparative review of both case diaries—the one created by Kolkata Police and the other by the CBI—could yield critical insights.
The court’s examination could ascertain whether the CBI’s assertion of evidence tampering in the preliminary investigation is justifiable.
Moreover, it could reveal whether the CBI followed an entirely different investigative path or merely expanded upon the city police’s approach with a more detailed investigation.
