RG Kar case: CFSL report casts doubt on crime scene in Kolkata junior doctor’s rape and murder case

No rape in the Kolkata RG Kar case? CFSL report makes shocking revelations

A report from the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) has raised significant doubts about the alleged “scene of the crime” in the rape and murder of a junior doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata. The incident occurred in August, with the victim’s body discovered in the seminar hall on the morning of August 9.

Questions surrounding the crime scene

Initially, both Kolkata Police and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) treated the seminar hall as the primary crime scene. However, the CFSL report submitted to the CBI suggests otherwise. According to sources, forensic experts found no evidence of a struggle within the seminar hall, contradicting earlier assumptions.

This finding supports concerns raised by a section of the medical fraternity, who have suspected since the beginning that the actual crime took place elsewhere. They believe the victim’s body was moved to the seminar hall post-incident to mislead investigators.

Forensic examination and investigation

• During the Kolkata Police’s initial investigation, 40 items were collected from the seminar hall where the body was found.
• After the Calcutta High Court directed the CBI to take over the case, these items were forwarded to CFSL for forensic analysis.
• On August 14, a team of CFSL experts physically examined the seminar hall, the purported crime scene.

Based on the analysis of these items and the physical inspection, CFSL’s report has cast doubt on the seminar hall being the actual scene of the crime.

Legal developments

The CFSL findings surfaced just as the Calcutta High Court’s single-judge bench, led by Justice Tirthankar Ghosh, is scheduled to hear a petition filed by the victim’s parents. They have requested a fresh investigation into the case from the beginning.

Implications of the findings

The CFSL report has added a new dimension to the case, challenging the current understanding of the events and raising questions about the initial investigation. If the seminar hall was not the original crime scene, it opens up the possibility of critical evidence being overlooked or mishandled.

The findings could pave the way for renewed efforts to uncover the truth behind the horrific crime, bringing justice closer for the victim and her family.
