Click to play videoPanaji: The Goa Medical College doctor (name concealed to protect identity) exposing the police lie that the first autopsy of Scarlette Keeling, the British teenager who was found dead in February, indicated she was not murdered.
A CNN-IBN investigation on Tuesday blew the lid off a police conspiracy to cover up the case.
A day after the report was aired, the Goa Police have said the role of Inspector Nerlon Albuquerque — already transferred from the Anjuna police station — will be probed.
However, the police have also questioned the doctor's role in the entire controversy.
Goa IGP, Kishen Kumar says, "In my 23 years of working, I have never seen a coroner ask for eyewitnesses. We investigate what is there in writing and the doctor did not specify homicide in writing."
The IGP is not the only one raising questions. Former chief minister, Manohar Parrikar, during whose term both the doctor and police officer in question had been suspended for a similar cover-up, has also reacted.
"The Home Department should be investigated for its links with drug peddlers. Both the policeman and doctor should be invesigated," says Parrikar.
The police say the murder case will be solved soon. A look-out notice has been issued for an eyewitness, another British tourist who claims to have seen Scarlette hours before her death.
The witness has apparently told the British media that Scarlette was drunk and high on drugs hours before she was found dead.
He says he had seen her with Samson D'Souza, the man alleged to have raped Scarlette, and who is now in police custody.
