Four Kolkata Police officers under CBI lens for ‘larger conspiracy’ | India News – Times of India

KOLKATA: The CBI, looking into the “larger conspiracy” angle in the rape and murder of a doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, has sent summons to four officers of Kolkata Police, including two sub-inspectors, in connection with the case.
The agency has alleged there was “dereliction of duty” on the part of some police officers. The investigators said a section of police officers tried to misguide them.It has also alleged tampering of evidence.
At the ACJM court on Sunday, the CBI spoke about a larger conspiracy behind the rape and murder of the doctor. CBI sources said it had reasons to believe that former principal of the medical college, Sandip Ghosh, was in touch with officials of Kolkata Police, who might have helped him in destroying evidence.
The agency is also looking into the case diary to find discrepancies, pointing at intentional efforts of a cover-up.
Kolkata Police has, however, told SC the crime scene was never compromised. It has also submitted a detailed timeline of Aug 9 and said every legal step was taken on time. CBI officers feel interrogation of officers linked to the case would provide further leads.
