CBI concerned about potential evidence tampering in RG Kar hospital ransacking case.
According to sources, officials from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) are concerned about the recent act of vandalism at the emergency department of RG Kar Medical College & Hospital in Kolkata. This attack, which resulted in the brutal rape and murder of a woman doctor, has raised fears of evidence tampering for the probe team of the central agency.

The incident occurred late Wednesday night when a group of people forcefully entered the hospital and wreaked havoc in the emergency ward. Worried about the possibility of the vandals reaching the seminar room, which is said to be the location of the heinous crime, the CBI officials reached out to the top officials of Kolkata Police for reassurance. Fortunately, they were informed that the seminar room remained untouched during the rampage.

However, the CBI officials had valid reasons to be anxious, as there were multiple social media posts claiming that the seminar room was also vandalized. To prevent the spread of false information, the city police released a statement through their social media handle, clarifying that the scene of the crime had not been affected. They also warned against spreading unverified news and promised to take legal action for spreading rumors.

This act of vandalism comes just days after the Calcutta High Court's division bench, consisting of Chief Justice TS Sivagnanam and Justice Hiranmay Bhattacharya, ordered a court-monitored CBI investigation into the rape and murder case. The bench had also expressed dissatisfaction with the progress of the initial investigation conducted by a special team of the city police.

Overall, the incident has caused great concern among the CBI officials, who fear that the evidence may have been tampered with during the attack. However, with the assurance from Kolkata Police that the seminar room remains untouched, the investigation can proceed without any hindrance.
