Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari on Sunday announced a fresh probe into the 2024 rape and murder of the doctor at the state-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital that shook the country.

Adhikari said the government took the decision on the request of the deceased doctor’s mother, who is now a BJP MLA. “Ratna Debnath had written to me, requesting a fresh investigation. After extensive discussions with the chief secretary and a team of experts, I am announcing a fresh investigation under the Special Commission Act, 1952,” he said.

Adhikari claimed that the police had failed to perform their duty in relation to this case. He also ordered a separate investigation into the alleged lapses in the cremation of the victim, and directed immediate action against those responsible.
