Told Sandip Ghosh Body Was Found Half-Naked: On Duty Doctors To CBI

Kolkata Rape-Murder Case: As CBI continues probe in the brutal rape and murder case of a trainee doctor in Kolkata, the on duty doctors told the central probing agency that they informed Sandip Ghosh the condition in which the body of the victim was found in the hospital premises. 

Questioned by the CBI, some of the on duty doctors told that they informed Sandip Ghosh that the body was found in half-naked condition.  

However, Sandip Ghosh had said that he was only told about the death of the trainee doctor.

The CBI earlier today was granted permission by the court to conduct the polygraph test of Sandip Ghosh and four other doctors, as probe advances in the shocking case.

Earlier today, CBI submitted its early status report in the Supreme Court and mentioned that the crime scene has been altered by the time they took over the case.

Supreme Court raps Mamata Govt

A tough talking Supreme Court tore into the Kolkata police over the delay in registering the unnatural death of the woman doctor, who was raped and killed at the RG Kar Hospital, calling it "extremely disturbing", and questioned the sequence of events and the timing of its procedural formalities.

Making an impassioned appeal to the protesting doctors across the country, the apex court also asked then to get back to work, saying "justice and medicine" cannot be stopped and moreover, it was issuing all the necessary directions to ensure their safety. It further directed no coercive action against them.

The strong reprimand of the Kolkata police by the top court in which a three-judge bench highlighted its "lapses" in its probe came even as Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the CBI, said there was an attempt to cover up the case by the local police as the crime scene was "altered" by the time the federal agency took over the probe.

The bench headed by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, which was hearing a suo motu case related to the crime, asked political parties not to politicise the case and said law will take its course after Mehta pointed to an objectionable statement of a West Bengal minister.
