Kolkata rape-murder case Highlights: The Supreme Court has resumed the hearing in the matter related to trainee postgraduate doctor who was found raped and murdered on August 9 morning.
A bench comprising Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud, Justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra will be hearing the matter today. On August 22, following the initial hearing, the court took suo moto cognisance of the case. The matter took a turn after the parents of the victim levelled bribery and negligence allegations on Wednesday against the Kolkata police.
The bench will also consider the recent application filed by the central government which accuses the Mamata Banerjee-led West Bengal government of being non-cooperative in assisting the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF). The central police force has been deployed to provide security at the RG Kar hospital.
Amid allegations of financial irregularities at the State-run RG Kar Medical College, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) officers on Friday conducted simultaneous search operations at the residences of the former principal, Sandip Ghosh and three of his associates.
