# Bengal CM orders fresh inquiry into RG Kar doctor murder 2026-08-10T01:28:55+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari on Sunday announced a fresh inquiry into the 2024 rape and murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College, exactly two years after the crime. The probe, under the Commissions of Inquiry Act, follows a request from the victim's mother, Ratna Debnath, now a BJP MLA. Adhikari also ordered a separate police investigation into the alleged hurried and illegal cremation of the body. Meanwhile, the CBI's new Special Investigation Team has seized the mobile phone of a woman hospital employee who first contacted the victim's family. The family alleged she gave contradictory information in subsequent calls. The phone has been sent for forensic examination to recover deleted data and call records that may point to a larger conspiracy, sources said. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - telanganatoday.com - assamtribune.com Tags: Adhikari, CBI probe, cremation probe, RG Kar case, West Bengal, women safety Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/bengal-cm-orders-fresh-inquiry-into-rg-kar-rape-murder-case/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
