Kolkata rape-murder:SC raps West Bengal govt, questions delay in filing of FIR
NEW DELHI, Aug 20 (PTI): Terming the rape and murder case of a medic at Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital as horrific, the Supreme Court on Tuesday came down heavily on the West Bengal government over delay in filing FIR in the matter.
Taking suo motu cognisance of the case, the top court said this incident raises systematic issue regarding safety of doctor across India.
A bench headed by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, which had taken cognisance of the incident, said if women are not able to go to work and working conditions are not safe, we are denying them equality.
