Calcutta HC Transfers Cremation FIR Probe to CBI in RG Kar Case

The Calcutta High Court has directed the Central Bureau of Investigation to take over the cremation-related investigation in the RG Kar case, replacing the West Bengal Police. The order, issued by the court, comes after concerns over the handling of the case by the state police. Under the new directive, the CBI will conduct a fresh probe into the circumstances surrounding the cremation of the deceased. The court has asked the CBI to submit a report within a stipulated timeframe. The transfer underscores the judiciary's intent to ensure a thorough and impartial inquiry.
