    On August 13, the Calcutta High Court ordered the transfer of the investigation from Kolkata Police to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which commenced its probe on August 14. The HC’s order came while hearing petitions, including one filed by the victim’s parents, who requested a court-monitored investigation.  


    Regarding the vandalism that occurred on the night of August 14 inside the RGK Hospital premises, the High Court noted that the mob violence at the hospital represented an absolute failure of the state machinery. On August 16, the court directed the police and hospital authorities to submit affidavits detailing the situation. 


    The alleged rape and murder of a junior doctor in a seminar hall at a state-run hospital has ignited nationwide protests. The medic’s body, bearing severe injury marks, was discovered inside the seminar hall of the hospital’s chest department on August 9. The following day, Kolkata Police arrested a civic volunteer in connection with the case.
