Senior counsel in the high court, Kaushik Gupta, welcomed the initiative of DoS, saying, "For a long time, several rumours and stories related to paranormal activities within the Calcutta High Court premises have been doing the rounds. So, I will be happy if DoS can scientifically prove that these are nothing but impacts of external factors."Claiming that he along with his team members have spent nights in several haunted houses before, Sanyal said that they go to these places with an open mind. "We do not act with a pre-conceived notion that there cannot be any survival of consciousness after physical death. A closed mind can never reveal the truth. We use different scientific gadgets like compass or motion sensors, among others, to identify whether external reasons like hallucination, mischievous activities by trouble makers or even cats or rats are giving the feeling of such paranormal ambience in a particular location or house. In 99 per cent of the cases, we have been able to trace these external factors that were responsible for so-called paranormal developments," Sanyal said.He added that people residing in places where the electro-magnetic field is highly active often become victims of hallucination."At times the subconscious mind also adds to that hallucinating factor," he said. Sanyal runs this mission solely out of his eagerness on this count and is otherwise engaged in his family business.
