Kolkata Doctor Rape-Murder Case LIVE Updates | SC Raps Bengal Government | RG Kar Hospital | N18L

The Supreme Court, hearing the Kolkata rape-murder incident today, said the nation cannot wait for another rape for changes on the ground. The DY Chandrachud-led bench also expressed strong dissatisfaction with the West Bengal government and the authorities at the hospital over the delay in filing the FIR and other procedural lapses in handling the case.

During the hearing of the Suo Motu case on the rape and murder of a doctor at RG Kar Hospital in Kolkata, the Supreme Court on Tuesday (August 20) questioned the West Bengal Government and the police over the handling of the case.

At the outset, Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud expressed deep concerns at the fact that the name of the victim, photographs and video clips showing the dead body have been spread all over the media. "This is extremely concerning," CJI said.

CJI expressed grave concern at the fact that the mob called the lady doctors by their names and threatened that they would meet the same fate as that of the deceased. CJI questioned why the police ran away from the spot.

"This is not an ordinary complaint which has been made to us now. What is the police doing?," CJI asked.

Justice Pardiwala, who was also on the bench, asked if the same police can be trusted to provide security to the doctors. Taking note of this issue, CJI said that the Court will order the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) to provide security to the hospital and the hostel. Sibal said that the State has no objection to this.
