Doctor Rape-Murder Case Highlights | Nobody entered area who was not authorised: Kolkata Police

Robert Vadra, husband of Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi, has voiced his concern over the Kolkata rape and murder of a trainee doctor. In a conversation with ANI in Hyderabad, Telangana, Vadra said, "I am deeply troubled by the situation in our country where women face numerous challenges. Ensuring women's safety is paramount. It's shameful that administrations and associations are failing to deliver justice and are instead covering up cases."

He added, "I'm very upset and troubled by the events there (in West Bengal). We must move beyond party politics and focus on the safety of women. Justice for the family is essential, and I will do my utmost to highlight these issues and ensure pressure is applied for justice."

Showing photographic evidence to back up her claims, DCP Central Indira Mukherjee of Kolkata Police, that the investigation was in no way tampered with. Citing the photo that is circulating as 'proof' that unknown people accessed the crime scene, she claimed that the police had been able to 'identify each and everyone who was there in this picture'.

At a press conference she said, "We have seen that there is one particular news channel which has shown a video and some pictures of the seminar hall which is the place of occurrence of this case. There it has been seen that inside the cordoned off area, many people are standing and talking, and it is not clear who are these people. It has been alleged that there are probably some people who were not supposed to be there and there has been some tampering of evidence. We have taken a still from that video... We have been able to identify each and everyone who was there in this picture... Right behind the cordon is the dead body... We have a videographer from the detective department, Commissioner of Police, Additional CP-1, Lady Police and forensic officials here. All are known to us and identified. There is also another picture and a new set of people. We have the witness doctor, FSL, fingerprint expert, the ACP of the detective department, the videographer, additional CP -1 and the forensic officials. This picture or the video is of the time when the inquest process was over... At no point in time could anybody enter this area who was not authorised. Nobody entered who was not associated with the investigation process..."
