In the R G Kar rape-murder case, the victim’s mother told the court that the CBI has done everything to shield the real culprits and has failed to file the supplementary chargesheet, despite repeated requests from the grieving family.
The Calcutta High Court is set to continue hearing the plea of the RG Kar rape-murder victim’s parents. They are demanding a deeper CBI investigation into the tragic case from August 9. The Supreme Court recently granted approval for the hearing to proceed. This has renewed hopes for justice and accountability in the case.
Today, On 22nd January, The Calcutta High Court will hear the CBI, the convict, and the victim’s family before deciding on the West Bengal government’s appeal concerning the sentence in the RG Kar hospital rape-murder case. The government argues the trial court’s sentence was inadequate, while the CBI opposes the state’s right to appeal, asserting its role as the prosecuting agency. The case will be taken up on Monday, with all parties presenting their arguments. The hearing aims to address the state’s challenge and ensure a fair review of the sentence.
The parents of a rape-murder victim from Kolkata moved the High Court, alleging that the investigation into the case has been “compromised.” Justice Tirthankar Ghosh, heading a single-judge bench, said the case is currently with the Supreme Court. The High Court explained that it could only hear the matter after confirming whether the Supreme Court is supervising the investigation. The victim’s parents are seeking a fair inquiry and justice for their daughter.
