Overview

• On June 23, the victim’s parents filed two petitions before Justice Tirthankar Ghosh in the Calcutta High Court seeking a fast-track hearing and permission for their legal counsel to survey the seminar room where the junior doctor was found.
• The court admitted both petitions, marking the latest step in multi-court proceedings that include the trial court’s conspiracy probe and a related matter before the Supreme Court.
• The CBI raised no objection to the crime scene survey even as it has submitted four status reports on alleged evidence tampering and financial irregularities linked to RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
• The parents have accused the CBI of procedural lapses and of failing to file any supplementary chargesheet since October 2024, challenging the thoroughness of the agency’s probe.
• Sanjay Roy, a former civic volunteer, remains serving a life sentence imposed in January for the rape and murder, while the CBI continues to press for the death penalty on appeal.
