IMA questions Fingerprint expert's involvement, Slams Kolkata Police's handling of RG Kar medico death case

Meanwhile, the viral photos showing many people in the seminar hall have raised concerns about whether it is acceptable for so many individuals to access the crime scene. Furthermore, there are allegations that the crime scene's integrity was compromised, as reported by News 18.   

In a Facebook post, the association stated, "Please let us know when the great Dr Avik De became Finger Print Expert? (As stated by Kolkata Police). As we all know, he is a 1st year Post Graduate Trainee of Surgery Department of SSKM Hospital."

Further, it said, "We also know that there are lot of controversies regarding his getting admission to the PG course. It is said that though Dr Avik De worked as an RMO in Burdwan Medical College, but the then Principal of that College Dr Kaustav Nayek gave him a false Certificate mentioning that he worked in Anamoy Hospital, just to get him Service Quota for PG admission, manipulating all the official papers. And in return without declaring the result of the 1st interview or cancelling the same, Dr Kaustav Nayek was made DME through a 2nd interview, superseeding many other senior & eligible Principals."

Expressing concern over the issue, the association has asked the Central Bureau of Investigation  (CBI) to investigate his presence and reidentify Dr Avik De. They also asked the agency to enquire what he was doing at R G Kar at the crime scene as he was found standing behind DME during his press briefing.
