Kolkata rape and murder: SC stays Cal HC order directing CBI probe into custodial torture case
Supreme Court on Monday stayed a Calcutta High Court's order directing a CBI probe into the alleged torture of a woman in police custody after her arrest over protests against the rape and murder of a doctor of R G Kar Medical College and Hospital. A bench of Justices Surya Kant and Ujjal Bhuyan asked the West Bengal government to submit a list of seven IPS officers, including five women, who could be included in a fresh Special Investigation Team (SIT) for probing the custodial torture case.
The order was passed on an appeal filed by the West Bengal government which had stated the high court had erroneously passed the order directing a CBI probe and the state police was capable of the investigation.
On November 6, a division bench of the Calcutta High Court upheld an order of a single judge directing a CBI investigation into the allegations levelled by the woman.
The division bench had said that the order of the single bench for conducting an independent investigation cannot be faulted and does not call for any interference.
Dismissing the appeal made by the West Bengal government, the high court had directed the CBI to comply with the order of the single bench.
