RG Kar Rape-Murder | Victim's Parents Move Calcutta High Court Against CBI Probe, Seek Fresh Investigation

In another development arising from the brutal rape and murder of a trainee doctor at Kolkata's RG Kar medical college and hospital, the parents of the victim girl have moved the Calcutta High Court challenging the CBI probe into the incident and seeking a fresh investigation into the case.

Notably, while the trial against the main accused Sanjoy Roy is ongoing before the trial court, two other accused in the alleged cover-up conspiracy that followed the incident, including former principal Sandip Ghosh had been granted bail due to the CBI's failure to file a chargesheet against them within the stipulated 90-day period.

Earlier, in the immediate aftermath of the incident, the parents of the victim had moved the Calcutta High Court against the State police's investigation, which was then transferred to the CBI. The CBI had been filing timely status updates before the Supreme Court as well.

The parent's present plea was mentioned before Justice Tirthankar Ghosh, who directed for it to be listed on Monday.
