RG Kar case: Victim’s family to approach SC ahead of trial court verdict, say CBI probe is flawed

The parents of the RG Kar rape and murder victim are to approach the Supreme Court ahead of the trial court’s verdict on January 18. They had earlier filed a fresh case in the Calcutta High Court alleging that the CBI’s investigation into the alleged rape and murder of their daughter is flawed and has glaring mistakes in the process.

The family’s lawyer Gargi Goswami was quoted by The Telegraph saying that the victim’s family has been dissatisfied over the CBI investigation. The CBI had failed to produce a chargesheet against RG Kar Medical College’s former principal Sandip Kar and Abhijeet Mondal, the in-charge of Tala police station, following which they were given bail.

Sandip Ghosh is still in custody in a corruption case. “From the purport of the entire examination and investigation, it would be evident that the entire trial is being conducted in a manner to implicate and target only one person who is accused, Sanjay Roy, in exclusion of the other suspects,”, the petition by the parents before the High Court read. Goswami also added that several witnesses were left out by the CBI.
