Deliberate error in Post Mortem Report, CBI raised question on RG Kar Rape and Murder Case

Recent investigations into the autopsy of a medical student at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital have revealed concerning information, with testimonies from at least two doctors and mortuary staff (domes) raising alarm. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has interrogated Dr. Apurba Biswas, the lead physician responsible for the autopsy, along with two other doctors and several mortuary staff. According to sources, the CBI is questioning whether there were intentional lapses during the procedure.

Autopsy Video Quality in Question

CBI sources suggest that the quality of the videography of the autopsy is questionable. Allegedly, the injuries on the deceased’s body are not clearly visible in the video, raising doubts about whether this was an unintentional mistake or a deliberate oversight. If the latter is true, the motive behind such negligence remains unclear but is a crucial focus of the investigation. The suspicion that efforts were made to hide the truth through the autopsy report is difficult to dismiss at this stage.

Timeline Raises Concerns

On August 9, the autopsy of the deceased medical student was completed within just an hour and ten minutes, after sunset. Investigators revealed that eight autopsies were conducted at the RG Kar mortuary that day, seven of which were performed before sunset. The medical student’s autopsy, however, took place between 6:00 PM and 7:10 PM—the only one performed after dark. Notably, this autopsy was the shortest in duration that day, raising concerns about the thoroughness of the procedure.

Objections from Medical Staff

One doctor reportedly raised concerns about conducting the autopsy in a rushed manner after sunset but was overruled. CBI sources are also investigating the lighting and other facilities used during the autopsy, as blurred videography has led some to suspect that the procedure may have been conducted with inadequate lighting. This has further fueled concerns that the autopsy’s findings may be incomplete or unreliable.

Role of Mortuary Staff

Mortuary workers (domes), who are responsible for helping identify injury marks on the body and creating a list of wounds, were also questioned by the CBI. The testimonies of two domes present during the autopsy have led investigators to suspect negligence in the procedure. According to sources, the CBI has scrutinized the various stages of the autopsy, including dissection and stitching, but many aspects remain unexplained, suggesting a possible cover-up.

Forensic Evidence Mishandling?

The CBI’s investigation also revealed negligence in collecting forensic samples from the deceased’s body. This was highlighted in a seminar where significant lapses were discovered. The investigators are now examining the autopsy report in minute detail, and unusual circumstances continue to surface during the investigation.

Concerns About Body Preservation

Another point of contention is the failure to preserve the body after the autopsy. RG Kar’s mortuary reportedly claimed that there was no space in the morgue freezer, but investigators argue that a lack of space should not have prevented the preservation of a body in such a sensitive case. This has led to further questions about the handling of the case.

Extensive Interrogation of the Doctor in Charge

Dr. Apurba Biswas, who was in charge of the autopsy, has been interrogated by the CBI five times, amounting to nearly 22 hours of questioning. The CBI summoned him again for further questioning on Tuesday, and investigators have indicated that they may call him in again if needed.

The RG Kar autopsy controversy has brought to light several troubling issues surrounding the medical student’s post-mortem examination. From questionable videography to rushed procedures and inadequate body preservation, the investigation raises concerns about whether the autopsy was intentionally flawed. As the CBI delves deeper into the matter, the true cause behind these lapses may soon be uncovered, providing much-needed answers to the deceased’s family and the public.
