NEW DELHI, March 16: The Supreme Court is slated to hear on Monday the matter where it has taken suo moto cognisance of the rape and murder of a junior doctor at the state-run R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata.
In the previous hearing, the CJI Khanna-led Bench directed hospitals and medical colleges across the country to not penalise doctors and medical professionals, who participated in protests against the ghastly rape and murder case, but had returned to their duty pursuant to the top court’s appeal.
Meanwhile, the CBI is expected to file its supplementary charge sheet at a special court in Kolkata this month, detailing the different aspects of the evidence tampering angle. The Central agency officials are trying their best to submit the supplementary charge sheet at the special court in Kolkata before the scheduled hearing at the Supreme Court.
In October, the CBI filed its first charge sheet against Sanjay Roy, a civic volunteer with Kolkata Police, in the alleged rape and murder case. In the charge sheet, the CBI did not rule out the possibility of a larger conspiracy behind the macabre crime that prompted the alleged events of tampering and altering of evidence during the initial phase of the investigation, which was carried out by Kolkata Police.
Besides Roy, two others arrested by the CBI officials in the matter are R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital’s former Principal, Sandip Ghosh, and the former SHO of Tala Police Station, Abhijit Mondal. (IANS)
