The family of the RG Kar trainee doctor, who was raped and murdered last year, claimed her phone number was removed from a WhatsApp group and suspiciously used for several months after her tragic death at the Kolkata hospital.
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.
