In a recent development concerning the horrific rape and murder of a trainee doctor at Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate (ACJM), Sealdah, has granted bail to Sandip Ghosh, the former principal of the college, and Abhijit Mondal, the former officer-in-charge of the local police station. Both were arrested for allegedly conspiring to cover up the incident.
The ACJM granted bail after noting that the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had failed to file its chargesheet against them within the statutory 90-day deadline.
Earlier, while reviewing the CBI’s investigation report into the case, the Supreme Court had remarked that the trial in the matter was expected to conclude within a month.
