The central agency recently took over the investigation from the Madhya Pradesh Police after the state government transferred the case amid allegations of investigative lapses, evidence tampering and influence over the probe.
The Madhya Pradesh government had earlier alleged before the High Court that selective clips were leaked publicly while the investigation was underway. Investigators are expected to determine who had access to the DVR, who created copies of the footage and whether the material circulated publicly was complete or selectively edited.
The agency may also probe why certain crucial pieces of evidence, including the alleged ligature material, became contentious during the initial investigation and whether any lapses were accidental or deliberate.
