In the fifth report, the CBI has stated that there was a plausible attempt to tamper with the evidence in its initial stages.  The agency is also investigating whether there was a coordinated effort to mislead the investigation and to gradually hush up the issue. This investigation also includes the scrutiny of how the crime scene was handled and the tampering of evidence thereafter.

Seven witnesses have been questioned in the ongoing probe, and the CBI has made clear that their focus is not just limited to the primary accused. The agency has been scanning CCTV footage, call records, and forensic data to piece together the full sequence of events and determine if any lapses occurred.

The report stated, "200 post incident news clippings, images and videos has been scrutinised to detect any actionable information."

The victim's family has previously expressed concerns that all the culprits involved in the incident have not yet been brought to justice.  Meanwhile, junior doctors will be holding a night long torch rally to mark one year of the crime on the intervening night of August 8-9th.
