The Criminal Investigation Department (CID), which took over the probe into the alleged bitcoin scam from the Central Crime Branch (CCB) recently, has now filed a complaint on the Investigating Officers (IOs) of the case for allegedly tampering with the evidence.
The Cottonpet police have registered an FIR against the former IOs of the case and other unidentified individuals under Section 204 for destruction of evidence and 120(B) for criminal conspiracy.
The FIR accessed by The Hindu shows the CID official has complained that the Forensics Science Laboratory (FSL) report of the mirror images of two pendrives, a hard disc and an Apple MacBook were tampered with and new files added after they were seized from the accused in November-December 2020.
