Were 2 FIRs Filed In Kolkata Rape-Murder Case? Petitioner Says Possible

In an exclusive interview with NDTV, intervenor Vijay Singla pointed out that no forensic examination or postmortem can be done before an FIR is lodged. "Maybe the FIR was missing or maybe it is there. The second FIR, they say, was lodged at midnight -- some 14 hours after the incident," he said.

Was a First Information Report or FIR filed in the Kolkata doctor's rape-murder case - long before the one filed 14 hours after the body was discovered? An intervenor who filed a petition in the Supreme Court appears to think so. In an exclusive interview with NDTV, intervenor Vijay Singla pointed out that no forensic examination or postmortem can be done before an FIR is lodged.

"My advocate says one FIR was lodged before the postmortem was done. Maybe the FIR was missing or maybe it is there. The second FIR, they say, was lodged at midnight -- some 14 hours after the incident," he said.

Assuming that the postmortem examination was held after the 14-hour-late FIR was filed is also questionable -- since the body of the young doctor was cremated around 8 pm, after just 10 hours.
