Supreme Court Hears Kolkata Doctor Murder Case
News summary

During a Supreme Court hearing regarding the tragic rape and murder of a 31-year-old doctor at Kolkata's R.G. Kar Medical College, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta admonished West Bengal government counsel Kapil Sibal for laughing during serious discussions about the case. Mehta highlighted alarming procedural delays, noting that the FIR was filed at 11:45 PM, after the victim had already been cremated, raising significant concerns about the investigation's integrity. The court expressed dismay over the fact that the postmortem was conducted between 6:10 PM and 7:10 PM on the same day before the case was officially documented as an unnatural death. Chief Justice DY Chandrachud and the bench ordered the Kolkata Police officer responsible for the initial report to appear in court to explain the timeline of events. Moreover, the CBI's investigation revealed that the crime scene had been tampered with and the victim's family was misled into believing her death was a suicide. This case has sparked nationwide protests demanding justice and accountability.
