A special team formed by the CBI inspected the crime scene, the truck which had hit the white Maruti Swift car.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which is probing the rape case as well, has already filed a charge sheet against the MLA and his kin. The number plate of the truck, which was coming from the opposite direction on the wrong side, was smeared with black paint, according to eyewitnesses.
The CBI team will also record statements of the police officers in the security cover of the woman and will seek their responses why they did not accompany the victim on Sunday when the accident took place, agency sources said.
