Pande is also a house staff of the same hospital.

After coming to know of Pande putting up at the said hotel, the CBI officials issued a notice to the hotel authorities asking to send an employee along with the booking register of the hotel to the agency’s Salt Lake office.

One of the staff members of the hotel arrived at the CBI office on Thursday along with the booking register and other related documents and submitted the same to the investigating agency.

It is learnt that Pande booked the room in the hotel for the night of August 9 through a hotel booking app. It is further learnt that Pandey had checked in the hotel on the night of August 9 and checked out on the next morning.

However, the investigating officials are yet to inform about the event of Pandey’s booking hotel room and the rape and murder case of the female doctor.
