No Lapses vs Admitting Lapses: Speaking to Arnab during a LIVE TV segment, Kumar had claimed that they took 2 blood samples of the accused to ensure that there is no tampering. “Primarily to check the DNA sample, that in case the blood was taken at the first instance was the same of the accused, that was the reason”, Pune CP had told Arnab. However, while talking to reporters, Kumar accepted lapses on the part of some cops while registering the case and said that action would be taken against them for the destruction of evidence.
