The Calcutta High Court has ordered a CBI investigation into RG Kar Medical College and Hospital rape-murder incident. The court asked to hand over all documents to CBI immediately.

The Calcutta High Court on Tuesday asked why a murder case was not registered at the outset and an unnatural death case was initiated into the alleged rape and killing of a woman doctor at state-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.

Chief Justice T S Sivagnanam put forth the question to the West Bengal government lawyer when he claimed that an unnatural death case was registered, as there was no immediate complaint of murder. The division bench presided by the Chief Justice said the body of the postgraduate trainee was not found on the roadside, and the superintendent or the principal of the hospital could have filed the complaint.

The body of the doctor, who was allegedly raped and murdered inside a seminar hall of the RG Kar hospital, was found on Friday morning. A civic volunteer was arrested in this connection on Saturday. The parents of the postgraduate trainee had moved the HC, seeking a court-monitored investigation in the case.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has filed an appeal before a division bench of the Calcutta high court challenging a single bench order restraining her and three others from making any defamatory or incorrect statement against Governor CV Ananda Bose.

According to PTI, The single bench of the court had passed the interim order on Tuesday on a defamation suit filed by the governor. Speaking on a row over the oath-taking of two newly-elected TMC MLAs, Banerjee had made certain comments, over which Bose had filed the suit.

Banerjee challenged the single bench order which was applicable till August 14.

Besides Banerjee, the order restrained three others – newly elected MLAs Sayantika Banerjee and Reyat Hossain Sarkar, and TMC leader Kunal Ghosh – from making any defamatory or incorrect statement against Bose.
