Sampat Meena, an IPS officer from the 1994 batch, is leading the investigation. Known for her expertise in handling sensitive cases, Meena has a distinguished record in dealing with high-profile cases such as the Hathras and Unnao rape incidents. Her experience and leadership in these cases have made her a key figure in the CBI’s efforts to ensure justice in the Kolkata case.
Assisting Meena is Seema Pahuja, another experienced officer with a background in solving complex cases. Pahuja played a crucial role in the Hathras case and is recognized for her work in the 2017 Gudiya case in Himachal Pradesh, where she utilized advanced DNA technology to crack the investigation. Her ground-level expertise will be instrumental as the CBI navigates the complexities of this current case.
The victim, a young doctor, was found brutally murdered, with evidence indicating that she had been raped before her death. The crime has shocked the city of Kolkata, leading to widespread demands for swift justice. The CBI’s decision to assign Meena and Pahuja to the case reflects the seriousness with which the agency is approaching the investigation.
A team of 25 officers has been assembled under Meena’s leadership, tasked with uncovering the truth behind the heinous crime. The investigation will involve meticulous examination of forensic evidence, witness testimonies, and any potential links to other ongoing cases. The involvement of these seasoned officers brings hope to the victim’s family and the community, who are calling for the perpetrators to be brought to justice swiftly.
As the investigation unfolds, the CBI’s focus will be on ensuring a thorough and unbiased probe, leveraging the expertise of Meena and Pahuja. Their track record in securing convictions in previous high-profile cases provides a measure of assurance that the investigation will be conducted with the highest standards of integrity and diligence.
