Over To The CBI : Calcutta High Court Transfers The Junior Doctor Rape And Murder Case After Uproar

The Calcutta High Court has ordered a CBI investigation into RG Kar Medical College and Hospital rape-murder incident. The court asked to hand over all documents to CBI immediately.

The Calcutta High Court on Tuesday asked why a murder case was not registered at the outset and an unnatural death case was initiated into the alleged rape and killing of a woman doctor at state-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.

Chief Justice T S Sivagnanam put forth the question to the West Bengal government lawyer when he claimed that an unnatural death case was registered, as there was no immediate complaint of murder. The division bench presided by the Chief Justice said the body of the postgraduate trainee was not found on the roadside, and the superintendent or the principal of the hospital could have filed the complaint.

The body of the doctor, who was allegedly raped and murdered inside a seminar hall of the RG Kar hospital, was found on Friday morning. A civic volunteer was arrested in this connection on Saturday. The parents of the postgraduate trainee had moved the HC, seeking a court-monitored investigation in the case.

TMC leader Kunal Ghosh told ANI , ” We are all condemning this. The CM had said on the very first day that the police will investigate and within 24 hours an accused was arrested. The CM specifically and clearly said that the entire investigation will be conducted in a fast track court and the police will ensure death penalty for the accused. Along with this, the CM also said that she has no objection if the investigation is handed over to any other agency like the CBI. The High Court handed it over to the CBI, so the CBI will still investigate… Now if the BJP says they want the CM’s resignation, then what happened in Unnao, Hathras and Prayagraj? Did any BJP leader resign there? … ‘
