RG Kar Case: Victim's parents to move SC over Grey Areas in CBI Probe

Kolkata: The parents of the 31-year-old woman PG doctor from RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, who was raped and murdered, have now decided to approach the Supreme Court of India to raise concerns over the "grey areas" in the ongoing Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the case.

According to an IANS report, the decision on the part of the parents to approach the apex court had been taken since last month, the Calcutta High Court had held that their petition demanding fresh enquiry in the matter would not be entertained unless certain things in the matter are clarified.

A single-judge bench of Justice Tirthankar Ghosh had observed that his bench would act on the matter only if it was clear whether the CBI probe in the matter was court-monitored or not. Although another hearing in the matter is scheduled this month where the bench is expected to make it clear whether it will finally act on the petition or not, the victim’s parents now have preferred to approach the Supreme Court also in the matter.

The victim’s father informed a section of the media persons on Friday that they, in all probability, will be approaching the apex court next Monday in the matter and they are constrained to take this decision since there are uncertainties on whether the Calcutta High Court will hear the matter or not. "CBI had identified civic volunteer Sanjay Roy as the ‘sole prime accused’ in the rape and murder.

He is surely guilty. But we are not sure whether CBI will be able to file supplementary charge sheets in the case, which their officials failed to do within 90 days against the two accused of tampering with evidence," he said, news agency IANS reported.

Recently, a special court in Kolkata granted “default bail” to the former and controversial principal of R.G. Kar, Sandip Ghosh and the former SHO of Tala Police Station Abhijit Mondal since the CBI failed to file supplementary charge sheets against them within 90 days from the date of their arrest. The charges against Ghosh and Mondal were for misleading the investigation and tampering with the evidence when the initial investigation in the matter was carried out by Kolkata Police.
