The Supreme Court of India has commenced hearings regarding the suo motu petition on the rape and murder of a doctor at the state-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata, West Bengal. During the proceedings, the court acknowledged a status report from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which indicated that the Sealdah Sessions Court has framed charges in the case. The West Bengal government has expressed its desire for a speedy trial. Chief Justice Chandrachud stated that the court will not transfer the trial outside West Bengal, emphasizing that such a move could undermine confidence in the local judiciary. This decision comes amid calls for justice in the case, which has garnered significant public attention.
