Top Court Orders Special Team Probe Into RG Kar Protesters' Alleged Torture

The top court said that the SIT would submit a report on the progress of the investigation on a weekly basis to the Calcutta High Court.

The Supreme Court on Monday ordered a probe by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) into the alleged torture of two women, who were arrested in September during protests against the rape and murder of a doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata.

The top court passed the order dismissing Calcutta High Court's order directing a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) inquiry into the case.

A bench of Justices Surya Kant and Ujjal Bhuyan said that not everything could be transferred to the CBI.
