The court was hearing a plea filed by father of the student who was enrolled in an educational institution pursuing MBBS course.
The Supreme Court has directed the CBI to probe the death of a 19-year-old MBBS student, who allegedly hung herself from the ceiling fan of her hostel room in Bareilly district of Uttar Pradesh in 2017.
Taking note of contradictory reports by probe agencies, a bench of Justices Aniruddha Bose and Sudhanshu Dhulia directed the CBI to file report before an appropriate court after conclusion of investigation.
“A young girl child has died an unnatural death while pursuing medical studies and two investigating agencies have given reports, one in the form of charge sheet arraigning two individuals as accused and the other filing closure report.
“In view of the fact that there appears to be contradiction in the two reports filed by the two investigating agencies and also considering the nature of these cases, we are of the opinion that further investigation ought to be undertaken by Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the two investigating agencies shall assist the CBI in this regard,” the bench said.
