West Bengal CM Suspends IPS Officers, Orders Fresh Probe in RG Kar Case
West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari emphasized his government's zero-tolerance policy on crime, suspending three IPS officers for alleged mishandling of the RG Kar Medical College rape-murder case investigation. He accused the previous Trinamool Congress (TMC) regime, including then Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and local MLA Atin Ghosh, of orchestrating a mob that vandalized the crime scene to obstruct justice. The state police are probing the victim's hurried cremation and alleged irregularities in hospital equipment purchases under the former TMC government. A CBI probe has been ordered by the Calcutta High Court at the victim's family's request.
