Kolkata: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is looking into the rape and murder of a junior doctor from R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata and has expressed doubts about the accuracy of the inquest and autopsy reports. Investigators believe that the number of external injuries on the victim’s body might be higher than what was reported.
Sources indicate that both reports only listed injuries found on the front of the victim’s body, with no mention of any injuries on her back. This omission has led officials to question the thoroughness of the reports.

According to the reports, the victim had 15 external injuries and nine internal injuries. However, the lack of documentation regarding back injuries has raised suspicions among the investigators, who suspect the reports may have been intentionally misleading.
The investigation has also identified serious procedural issues with how the autopsy was conducted. The procedure was completed in a rushed 70 minutes after sunset on August 9. The victim's body was discovered that morning in a seminar room at the hospital.
Before the autopsy, the Judicial Magistrate had only 20 minutes to examine the body and prepare the inquest report - an unusually brief time given the seriousness of the case. Investigators believe this hurried approach may have been aimed at facilitating the cremation of the body that same night, potentially preventing a second post-mortem that could reveal additional evidence.
As the CBI continues its investigation, officials are determined to uncover the truth behind these troubling findings.
