After the murder and rape, it was the administration of Bengal that, under the orders of the authorities, engaged in tampering with evidence.Shame on them!”
Hours after the BJP’s social media post, Kolkata police responded to the allegations and said,”
“The place of occurrence that is known to us is basically the seminar hall of G Kar (Hospital) on the third floor. Social media and some news channels have shown a particular video where it is being seen that some people are standing and it has been told that it is inside the seminar hall and there has been tampering of evidence and the place was not cordoned off by the police. This is the allegation,” Kolkata Police DC CD Indira Mukherjee said.
“Let me clarify that the seminar hall is basically a room which is 51ft by 32ft. And inside this particular room, when the body was found, the hospital curtains were used to immediately cordon off the area. And for 40ft from the dead body no one could enter. Apart from the scheduled number of people who were supposed to enter in that area and the video that you may have seen, it pertains to an area which is outside the cordon approximately 11ft,” she added.

“But none of them apart from the family members were allowed to enter inside the corner of area and inside this area which was cordoned off only few people could enter who were designated, which includes the investigating officer, the forensic officials, some police officials and the photography videography team and the people who were assigned with the duty of shifting the dead body later on. Apart from them, nobody else could enter this particular cordoned off area,” she further said.
