Kolkata: Supreme Court continues to grill Mamata Banerjee's government over timeline of postmortem and registration of crime as an unnatural death (UD) in Kolkata rape and murder case.

Bench led by CJI DY Chandrchud observed, 'If it's not a case of unnatural death, n why was it taken for postmortem.'

When CJI asked when postmortem was done, Senior vocate Sibal stated that it started at 18: 10 pm and and ended at 19:10.

However, top court furr noticed that case of UD (unnatural death case) was registered at 23:30 pm.

UD case was registered at Thala police station at 23:30 hour and FIR was registered at 23:40 hour.

"It's very surprising postmortem precedes registration of UD. If this is fact n re is something dangerous," bench observed.

After one of counsel mentioned reports related to post-mortem over some grams of semen, CJI asked m not to refer to social media to make submissions in court. He said, "Don't re what is re on social media."
