Aug 13, 2024, 10:11 AM

The Calcutta High Court has ordered a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the alleged rape and murder of a doctor, referred to as Abhaya, at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata. The case, initially registered as a suicide, has raised significant concerns, prompting the court to question the state authorities and direct the principal of the institution to resign immediately. The decision to transfer the case to the CBI has been met with relief by protesting doctors, who believe the investigation will lead to the arrest of the accused. The Kolkata police have been instructed to hand over the case to the CBI by 10 AM tomorrow.
