The Supreme Court is currently hearing the suo motu case related to the brutal rape and murder of a 31-year-old trainee doctor at the state-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata last month. A bench comprising Chief Justice DY Chandrachud and Justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra is hearing the matter. 

During the last hearing, the bench had asked the CBI – the central agency probing the case – for a status report of the investigation so far. The top court had also asked the Mamata Banerjee-led West Bengal government to give a status report of the investigation into thousands of people breaking into the hospital.

Thousands of people across West Bengal and other parts of the country are holding protests over the rape and murder of the doctor on duty on August 9. Sanjay Roy – a civic volunteer – has been arrested in the case.
