Supreme Court Criticizes Kolkata Police, Transfers Doctor's Murder Case to CBI
Aug 24, 2024, 03:39 PM
The Supreme Court has expressed serious concerns over the handling of a rape and murder case involving a 31-year-old doctor in Kolkata. The Kolkata Police have been criticized for their delay in filing the First Information Report (FIR), which was registered 14 hours after the discovery of the body. The Supreme Court questioned why the FIR was delayed, why the crime scene was not secured promptly, and why a post mortem was conducted before the FIR on 'unnatural death'. The case has been transferred to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) due to perceived inadequacies in the state government's response. The CBI is now questioning several individuals, including the former principal of the hospital where the incident occurred. The Supreme Court's observations highlight a potential cover-up and institutional failures by the West Bengal government in addressing crimes against women.
