Was gang rape, destruction of evidence considered in RG Kar case, HC asks CBI | India News

KOLKATA: Calcutta HC on Monday directed CBI to clarify whether last Aug’s RG Kar crime “was a case of gang rape”, whether this angle was considered during the probe and, if yes, who the suspects were. The state clarified it had no objection to further probe orders. Justice Tirthankar Ghosh Monday also asked whether CBI’s probe was related to the rape-murder or also covered the alleged destruction of evidence and directed the agency to produce the case diary of the crime at the next hearing on Friday.
A trial court this Jan found civic volunteer Sanjay Roy guilty of the crime and sentenced him to life in prison. The victim’s parents, however, approached SC, alleging the involvement of more people and suspecting a link between the crime and the alleged corruption rings at the hospital. SC earlier this week cleared the decks for the parents to approach Calcutta HC for further investigation.
