In a major legal development, the Supreme Court of India has raised serious concerns about the handling of a high-profile rape and murder case in Kolkata. The case, which has shocked the nation, revolves around the brutal assault and death of a young woman. In its latest hearing, the Supreme Court questioned the West Bengal government regarding missing documents, particularly the autopsy report, which is critical to the investigation. The apex court’s inquiry has put the state administration under intense scrutiny.
The incident, which took place in Kolkata earlier this year, sparked widespread protests and demands for justice. However, the case has been marred by delays and alleged lapses in the investigation. The missing autopsy report is now at the center of the controversy, with the Supreme Court expressing its dissatisfaction with how the case has been handled. The bench, led by Chief Justice of India, asked pointed questions about how an autopsy could be conducted without the proper documentation being filed.
The West Bengal government, represented by its legal team, has promised to cooperate fully with the investigation and provide the necessary documents. However, this assurance has done little to quell public outrage, as activists and citizens continue to demand transparency and accountability. The Supreme Court’s involvement has brought renewed attention to the case, with many hoping that the judicial intervention will expedite the investigation and ensure justice is served.
The case is being closely monitored, with political ramifications also playing a role. Opposition parties have accused the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) of trying to cover up the crime, further intensifying the pressure on the state government. As the investigation proceeds, the missing autopsy report remains a critical piece of evidence, and its absence raises questions about the integrity of the entire process.
