💨 Abstract

The Calcutta High Court has ordered a CBI investigation into allegations of custodial torture of a woman arrested during protests against a doctor's rape and murder at RG Kar Medical College. Two petitioners, both women, accused police of physical abuse during their detention, and a jail report confirmed torture on one of them. The court cited the need for an impartial and independent inquiry due to the possible involvement of police authorities.
