Kolkata: Tamluk MP Abhijit Gangopadhyay on Saturday afternoon visited the emergency building at RG Kar Hospital, where the victim of a rape and murder was found on August 9, 2024. Gangopadhyay raised questions about the failure to examine all evidence and demanded that the role of CBI investigating officer Seema Pahuja should also be probed.
Key Evidence Room Still Locked
Standing in front of a locked room, Gangopadhyay stated, 'The room I am standing in front of is crucial in this case. It is still locked. The room provides access to where the victim's body was found. These aspects were not investigated.' He emphasized that if CBI officials had entered the room, they might have uncovered many things and advanced the investigation.
Allegations Against CBI Officer
Gangopadhyay claimed that a nurse recorded a video on her mobile phone of a body being carried down the stairs. 'Pahuja took that video and instructed the nurse to delete the same from her mobile handset,' he alleged. He further stated, 'I am not blaming the entire CBI. I see fault with that specific officer. She should be included as an accused and interrogated,' suggesting that the investigating officer might have been influenced.
Gangopadhyay urged the CBI to thoroughly examine everything inside the locked room and demanded a comprehensive investigation into the officer's conduct. His visit comes amidst growing public scrutiny over the handling of the case.
