"Serious Lapses By Hospital Admin": CBI To Probe Doctor's Rape-Murder
NDTV
The Calcutta High Court said it would have given more time to state police under "normal circumstances" but noted that there have been no significant conclusions
The probe into the chilling rape and murder of a 31-year-old doctor in Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital must be transferred to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), the Calcutta High Court ruled today.
The court noted serious lapses in the hospital administration's response after the doctor was found dead in its seminar hall on Friday morning, her clothes in disarray and injuries all over her body. The victim's parents, the court said, want an investigation by an independent body to ensure that evidence is not tampered with.
The court today came down heavily on Dr Sandip Ghosh, the former principal of the state-run college, saying it was "disheartening" that he was not "proactive".
