AI-estimated: this article's coverage tilts toward no party.
The Calcutta High Court has ordered that a case being investigated by the West Bengal Police over the alleged hurried cremation of the RG Kar hospital rape and murder victim and destruction of evidence be transferred to the CBI.
The court said the state police and the CBI could not investigate the same issue at the same time, as a CBI special investigation team is already probing allegations of a larger conspiracy in the rape and murder of the on-duty doctor at the state-run hospital in north Kolkata in August 2024.
