The horrific rape and murder of a young doctor in Kolkata, which has shocked the nation, is now under the scrutiny of the Supreme Court. A three-judge bench headed by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud is set to hear the case today.
The CBI, currently handling the investigation, has encountered several significant issues, including the integrity of evidence, adherence to the rule of law, and the safety of healthcare workers. Additionally, the broader concern of women’s safety in the workplace has come to the forefront. The incident has also placed significant pressure on the ruling Trinamool Congress, with Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee facing backlash from her key women voters.
