West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari ordered a fresh probe into the RG Kar doctor rape-murder case on the second anniversary of the crime in Kolkata. He said the move followed a request from the victim’s mother, now a BJP MLA, and also ordered a separate inquiry into alleged police lapses and cremation irregularities. The state health department had already announced its own probe a day earlier, while hospitals observed silence and junior doctors held a memorial march.
