Parents of RG Kar hospital doctor move Calcutta HC

The parents of the RG Kar rape and murder victim have moved the Calcutta High Court on Thursday seeking a fresh probe into the death of their daughter. The victim’s father claimed that he was not satisfied with the CBI probe.

“We are disappointed with the way former Principal of RG Kar Sandip Ghosh and Tala Police Station SHO Abhijit Mondal were released,” they said.

A single-judge bench, comprising Justice Tirthankar Ghosh, has admitted the petition and the matter may come up for hearing next week.


The Sealdah court granted bail to RG Kar Medical College and Hospital’s former principal Sandip Ghosh and Tala police station SHO Abhijit Mondal in the case on December 13. The duo was granted bail after the central agency failed to file charge sheets against them within the 90-day statutory period, people in the know said.

The mother of the victim claimed, “I wanted to give witness. But it was denied. My husband has given witness.”

“The parents have said that there are certain avenues which have not been probed. They have filed a petition on this,” the advocate of the parents told media persons.

The doctor’s body was found in the seminar room of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital on August 9. CBI has already filed a charge sheet against the prime accused Sanjay Roy.

West Bengal Junior Doctors’ Front, an umbrella platform of the junior doctors in the state spearheading the movement on RG Kar, has been protesting on the issue since August and have threatened to resume the protest again.

The CBI had taken up the probe on RG Kar following a Calcutta High Court order.
