Kolkata: The CBI team on Friday once again visited the house of heavyweight TMC leader at Hanskhali to collect fingerprints.
According to CBI sources, the agency is also planning to conduct DNA tests of those arrested to match the samples that they have collected from the alleged crime spot.
“This first step will be very crucial in our investigation. We are planning to match the DNA with the samples collected. On Friday again we have collected a few samples from the TMC leader’s house and crematorium,” said a CBI officer.
The CBI officer also mentioned that the third accused has been identified as Ranjit Mullick and the accused along with his entire family is absconding. The CBI officers have sealed his house.
Meanwhile, BJP's fact-finding committee also visited Hanskhali and claimed President’s rule should be imposed immediately in Bengal.
BJP Englishbazar MLA Sreerupa Mitra Chaudhury claimed that the dead girl’s mother is still petrified.
“The dead girl’s mother said that the TMC goons had surrounded their house on April 4 night for which they could not call for any help. She said after a while when she failed to watch her daughter’s suffering she said that TMC people have taken her daughter,” said Sreeupa who also mentioned that the family members of the dead girl said that they are not ‘aware’ whether their daughter actually died.
