The Supreme Court on Wednesday transferred the rape and murder case of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College to the Calcutta High Court for further hearings. The apex court had taken suo motu cognisance of the incident in 2024, making it a major update in Indian News Breaking coverage.
A bench led by Justice M.M. Sundresh and Justice Satish Chandra Sharma ordered the authorities to send all case documents to the High Court. They also instructed officials to provide a copy of the status report to the victim’s parents.
The tragic incident occurred on August 9 last year, when hospital staff discovered the body of a postgraduate trainee doctor in the seminar room. Kolkata Police arrested a volunteer named Sanjay Roy the very next day.
The crime sparked nationwide outrage. Doctors across West Bengal organized prolonged protests demanding justice and better workplace safety. This case continues to dominate Indian News Breaking reports.
