A plea was mentioned before the Calcutta High Court’s single bench of Justice Tirthankar Ghosh by the parents of the trainee doctor (victim) at Kolkata's RG Kar medical college and hospital, who was allegedly raped and murdered, challenging the Central Bureau of Investigation's (CBI) probe into the incident and seeking a fresh investigation into the case.

This development comes days after the Sealdah Court granted bail to two primary acccuseds in the alleged rape and murder case, i.e., Sandip Ghosh, the former principal of RG Kar Medical College, and Abhijit Mondal, the former officer-in-charge of Tala Police Station, due to CBI’s failure to file a chargesheet within the statutory time limit of 90 days.

The matter is further listed to be heard on December 23, 2024.
