The Special Investigation Team (SIT) concluded that the Group‑I scripts were unaltered, but identified procedural shortcomings during the process.
The Special Investigation Team (SIT) has released its findings on the Group‑I scripts, stating that no tampering was detected during the review. The team’s analysis covered all relevant documents and confirmed their integrity.
While the scripts remained unchanged, the SIT highlighted several procedural lapses that could compromise future investigations. These shortcomings include gaps in documentation, inadequate chain‑of‑custody protocols, and insufficient oversight during the handling of the scripts.
The report urges authorities to strengthen procedural safeguards and implement stricter audit mechanisms. By addressing these gaps, investigators aim to prevent potential manipulation and ensure the reliability of evidence in forthcoming cases.
The SIT’s findings are expected to prompt a review of current investigative practices and may lead to reforms in how sensitive documents are managed and monitored.
