LUCKNOW: Meenakshi Gupta, the wife of Kanpur-based businessman Manish Gupta who died under mysterious circumstances during a police verification exercise in a Gorakhpur hotel on September 28, uploaded a 10-minute video on social media on Saturday claiming that the cops and hotel staff had tampered with the evidence.
She alleged that the blood stains in the room were wiped off establishing clear connivance of the hotel staff with the police in destruction of evidence.
Soon after receiving the news of her husband’s death, Meenakshi had rushed to the hotel where the incident had taken place. The video, shot during her hotel visit, purportedly shows that the scene of crime was tampered with.
She has raised allegations that blood stains were also wiped from the floor and her husband’s wallet and ID card were taken away from the room but his slippers were left untouched.
In the video, Meenakshi is seen questioning a cop why the area was not sealed and why people were being allowed after the crime took place. “Had the crime been committed by a common man, the entire premises would have been sealed but as the crime involves cops it has not been done,” Meenakshi is heard saying in the video.
She is also heard asking the hotel owner to explain why the hotel not sealed.
