The Supreme Court has taken suo motu cognizance of the alleged rape and murder of a doctor in Kolkata, scheduling a hearing for August 20. The case has led to widespread protests, disrupting healthcare services as junior doctors go on strike in states like West Bengal and Delhi.

Sandip Ghosh, former principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, appeared before the CBI for the third consecutive day to submit details regarding phone calls related to the incident. The Kolkata Police have summoned multiple individuals, including TMC MP Sukhendu Sekhar Roy and former BJP MP Locket Chatterjee, for allegedly spreading false information about the case.
