The rape complainant in the IIM-Calcutta case is untraceable and has skipped two court appearances. Police continue investigation despite discrepancies and lack of medical consent.
The Calcutta High Court Today (Aug 13) ordered a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the rape and murder of a resident doctor at RG Kar Medical College hospital in Kolkata. A Bench of Chief Justice TS Sivagnanam and Justice Hiranmay Bhattacharyya asked the CBI to carry out the probe on priority basis.
The Calcutta High Court questioned why a murder case wasn’t initially registered in connection with the alleged rape and murder of a woman doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, suggesting that the hospital officials could have filed the complaint. The court also urged the state to engage in dialogue with protesting doctors demanding better protection.
