Yesterday, On 14th September, The CBI arrested the former principal of Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, Sandip Ghosh, and police officer Abhijit Mondal for attempting to destroy evidence in a high-profile rape and murder case. The incident sparked public outrage and led to the CBI taking over the investigation. The Chief Minister declined the protesting doctors’ request for live-streaming their meeting.
Today, On 13th September, The BJP demanded Arvind Kejriwal’s resignation following the Supreme Court’s statement on the legality of his arrest, claiming he no longer has the moral authority to hold a constitutional position. The Court reiterated that “bail is the rule, and jail an exception,” while questioning the timing and manner of Kejriwal’s arrest by the CBI.
The Supreme Court today granted bail to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, citing “prolonged incarceration constitutes an unjust deprivation of liberty.” His arrest by the CBI in the liquor excise policy case led to restrictions, despite being granted bail in a separate case. The court criticized keeping him in custody without a trial as a “travesty of justice.”
