The Supreme Court of India has taken up the case of the brutal rape and murder of a trainee doctor at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. On Tuesday, a bench led by Chief Justice of India, DY Chandrachud, will hear the matter.
The case, which has sparked widespread protests and demands for justice across the country, reached the apex court amid allegations of mishandling and cover-ups by local authorities. The incident has drawn significant public attention, leading to demands for a fair and transparent investigation.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is currently probing the case, following an outcry over the initial handling of the investigation by Kolkata Police. The involvement of the Supreme Court is expected to ensure that justice is served in this high-profile case.
The Chief Justice-led bench will be addressing petitions and concerns related to the investigation, including the demand for stricter measures to ensure the safety of medical professionals in hospitals.
