The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is intensifying its focus on the alleged lapses in the post-mortem report of a junior doctor at Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College & Hospital, who was brutally raped and murdered in August. Officials suspect these irregularities may indicate tampering with evidence in the high-profile case.
As part of the probe, the CBI has obtained reports of other autopsies conducted on the same day as the victim’s post-mortem. According to sources, these reports, along with the victim’s, have been forwarded to forensic experts. The investigators further aim to identify qualitative discrepancies between the victim’s autopsy report and others conducted on that day to substantiate potential tampering claims.
Investigators are also examining why the hospital authorities performed the victim’s post-mortem after sunset, violating standard protocols. This procedural anomaly, coupled with the unusually brief time taken to complete the autopsy, has raised suspicions.

Additionally, officials noted the poor quality of the video recording of the post-mortem, allegedly conducted in dim lighting, as another critical lapse under scrutiny.
The investigation is currently proceeding along two parallel lines. The first focuses on the “rape and murder crime,” while the second concerns the “tampering and altering of evidence.”
The CBI’s inquiry into evidence tampering seeks to address several critical questions:
As the investigation progresses, forensic experts are analyzing the post-mortem reports to uncover inconsistencies. Their findings will determine whether individuals deliberately tampered with evidence to shield those involved in the heinous crime.
The case further marked by its complexity and allegations of systemic lapses, remains under intense scrutiny. The CBI is working to ensure justice for the victim and uphold accountability in every aspect of the investigation.
