Trinamool Congress (TMC) spokesperson Kunal Ghosh had posted a video of Adhikari when he was in TMC and claimed that Adhikari’s role should also be investigated in connection to this murder.

However, as per Calcutta High Court’s order the second post-mortem of the deceased was conducted in Command hospital in Kolkata.
