The controversy intensified when structures at the resort, including the crime scene, were demolished on the orders of local authorities before a thorough forensic examination could be conducted, leading to allegations of tampering with evidence. Further allegations of protecting "VIP" individuals connected to BJP leaders fueled protests and demands for a CBI investigation, although the courts upheld the Special Investigation Team's chargesheet.Organisational structure
