Kolkata rape murder case: Calcutta HC upholds CBI probe into alleged jail torture of woman arrested for protesting

The division bench of the Calcutta High Court, headed by Chief Justice TS Sivagnanam, upheld the order of a single judge heading a CBI probe into allegations of jailhouse torture of a woman involved in protests over the rape and murder on a doctor at RG Kar Medical College. The woman, Rama Das, reportedly showed signs of hematoma after her arrest, although conflicting medical reports raised concerns. The court dismissed the West Bengal government’s appeal citing discrepancies in medical evaluations as grounds for an independent investigation by the CBI.
