KOLLAM: The investigation team will examine Sandeep's phone in detail in connection with the murder of Dr Vandana Das in Kottarakkara. It is to see whether there is any evidence of him using drugs. The police said the accused himself shot the video including Vandana just before the attack. He then sent this video to a friend. The police will summon him and take his statement.
The police also decided to make changes in the FIR. The decision was taken to file a new FIR after it became clear that there are major discrepancies in the FIR registered as per the statement of the duty doctor. The police have recorded the statements of many eyewitnesses for this. It was mentioned in the FIR that the accused first attacked Dr Vandana. However, the eyewitnesses said this is not true. There is a serious lapse in the time recorded. The FIR said the attack was reported at Kottarakkara police station at 8.15 am.
However, the policemen were with the accused from 4 in the morning. Even after confirming the doctor’s death, it was recorded as murder attempt.
Binu, the relative of the accused, who sustained stab injuries, said Sandeep was speaking contradictorily, since the day before the violence. The attack happened when he was going to take the X-ray after examining the wound. Binu told the media that he did not see the accused holding the surgical scissors in his hand. Binu said that he was first stabbed in the neck with scissors and then escaped after hiding behind the door.
