New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday expressed deep concern over the brutal rape and murder of a medical student from Kolkata, West Bengal.
A bench headed by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud took up the matter on its own and expressed deep concern and concern over the rape and murder of a student.
Governments should pay more attention to the safety of women in the country. Taking the case as an example of the current lack of safety for women in the country, the Supreme Court slammed the West Bengal government for the “complete breakdown” of law and order in the state.
An autopsy was conducted following the incident. What is the reason for registering an FIR 3 hours after the postmortem? The Supreme Court slammed the organisation for failing to provide security to the doctors and said it was a matter of national interest.
The court also directed the recording of the statement of the principal of RJK Medical College and a report on the security system of the college.
After the CBI submitted a report on the incident, the judges directed the CBI to submit a report on Thursday, saying it would investigate the case thoroughly. The country should be made aware of the safety of women. The court will examine the circumstances report of the case and take action, saying safety of women should be ensured at their workplaces. Accordingly, the government has been requested to constitute a National Executive Committee.
The bench also directed the state government not to conduct any inquiry into the state protesters in view of the increasing protests in the state.
The Supreme Court on Monday took up the case on its own initiative and conducted a hearing in the wake of protests across the country against the rape and murder case in West Bengal.
The sanctity of evidence, the rule of law, the safety of health professionals, and the safety of women in the workplace have raised many issues. The ruling Trinamool Congress in West Bengal has been accused of protecting the accused, following a Calcutta High Court order, the investigation has been handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Meanwhile, the Supreme Court, which took up the case on its own, expressed concern over the case.
The case took a more political turn after the Mamata Banerjee government transferred RG Ghar Medical College principal Sandeep Ghosh hours after he resigned. Law and order in the state has completely collapsed after Governor CV Anand Bose also lashed out at Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. He has directly criticized the lack of protection for girl children.
There was a delay in allowing female security guards to see the body. Moreover, the hasty cremation was heavily criticized
