Kolkata: The Kolkata Police has denied claims made in some viral audio clips that had alleged that Kolkata Police had informed the RG Kar victim's parents that she had died by suicide.
Police rejects the clip
Indira Mukherjee, Deputy Commissioner (DC) of Central Division, Kolkata Police said that at no instant had the police called the incident a suicide.
In a press briefing, Indira Mukherjee said, "We heard some audio clips that were played by many channels...No such comments have been made by Kolkata Police. We never said that it was a suicide."
Police stand clear
The Deputy commissioner also clarified the Police's stand on claims made in certain reports that had alleged that different colour beadspreads were used to cover the victim's body which was a sign of foulplay.
"Some of the video clips are also making claims that the colour of the curtain or the bedsheet that is used to cover the body is different from the previously declared colour that is blue.
Let me bring notice, that our photography and videography started at 12:25 PM on that particular day. Videography was done in phases at the time of seizure and when the forensic team arrived as well," the Deputy Commissioner said. "And I assure you that the material used to cover the body was blue. Whatever data was with us is duly handed over to CBI," she added.
Victim's father also denies the clip
Meanwhile the Victim's father also distanced himself from the alleged viral audio clips, refusing to confirm that the voice on the clip was his.
The victim's father said, "We don't know from where, how it (the phone conversation between the family and the assistant superintendent of the hospital) went viral. We will not take responsibility for it.'' On whether the voice on the phone is his, the victim's father said, "You say so, but I do not see it. This issue will not affect the investigation."
