Hearing going on in Supreme Court
New Delhi: The case of rape and murder of a junior doctor at Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College was heard in the Supreme Court today. A bench of Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, Justice JB Pardiwala and Justice Manoj Mishra sat for the hearing.
In this case, the West Bengal government has given its status report to the court. This report has been given regarding the large number of people reaching the spot. The report of the health department of the West Bengal government has also been given to the court.
The CBI has also filed its status report in this case. Kapil Sibal has said that 23 people died during the doctors’ strike. We have filed the status report of the investigation. Sibal said that 23 people have died due to the doctors’ non-functioning.
The SG said that he has not received the report. The bench examined the report presented in a sealed envelope. While reading the CBI’s status report, the CJI asked the SG how far is the principal’s house from the college. To this, the SG said it is at a distance of 15-20 minutes.
Students and junior doctors of Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College are monitoring the Supreme Court hearing through the screen. The eyes of the whole country are fixed on the hearing on this case. CJI asked Sibal that we want to know at what time UD (unnatural death) 861/2024 was registered. SG said that she is a daughter, a daughter for all of us, I adopt that sentiment.
Sibal said from 8:30-10:45 p.m., search and seizure was done, once the body was removed for postmortem, then photographs were taken. CJI said there is a CCTV footage to show at what time the accused came in and was present there, obviously the footage would be after 4:30 a.m. Has the CCTV footage been handed over to CBI in its entirety? SG replied in the affirmative. SG said there are 4 clippings, total duration 27 minutes.
Sibal said there are two things… (1) seizure given at 8:30-10:45. (2) videos in hard disk given in parts, stored in parts due to technical glitch, but given in full. SG said we have forensic report, one thing is admitted, when the girl was found at 9:30, she was in semi-nude condition, jeans and undergarments removed, there were injury marks on her body. They have taken samples, sent to CSFL again.
SG said CBI has decided to send samples to AIIMS and other CFSLs. Who took the samples has become relevant. SG says samples were tested at CFSL in Bengal.
CJI told CBI that we do not want to comment on the investigation in court. CBI should file a status report in court within a week. SG said there are two samples, or two swabs and results. CJI said that we have seen the further direction of the investigation, we do not want to comment on it in open court. We want a status report by Tuesday, CBI should proceed based on the clues they are finding.
Now the next hearing on this matter will be held on Tuesday.
