The footage of two CCTV cameras installed at the main gate (north) at Raj Bhavan from around 5.30pm on 2 May were shown to several people, who were present at the show held at the Central Marble Hall. The CCTV footage was shown in three phases (5.31 pm to 5.42 pm, 5.32 pm to 6.32 pm and 6.32 pm to 6.41 pm) which took around one hour and nine minutes.
On Wednesday, Mr Bose had announced that he would show the footage to 100 common people, excluding ‘politician’ and police personnel.
In the footage, the woman, dressed in blue jeans and top, was seen going to the police outpost, with a large number of policemen deployed on Raj Bhavan premises for the scheduled visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
