CBI investigators recorded the details about when the parents were informed of their daughter's death by the hospital.
They inquired about the victim's friends and if she had any issues at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
"It was difficult to speak to a couple who have lost their daughter in such a manner," an officer said.
In addition, the CBI questioned five doctors from the hospital, the former medical superintendent-cum-vice-principal, the principal and the head of the Chest Department where the victim's body was discovered.
The CBI also interviewed the officer-in-charge of the Tala police station, the police jurisdiction in which the hospital falls. Investigators are analyzing the call detail record and mobile tower location of Civic Volunteer Sanjay Roy, who was arrested following the discovery of the victim's body last Friday.
"We are also looking into data consumed by his mobile to ascertain whether he made any video or internet voice calls," an officer clarified.
A CBI team paid a visit to the hospital on the same day and interviewed intern doctors, nurses, and others present on the night of the incident.
The CBI took over the case from Kolkata Police following a directive from the Calcutta high Court.
