Governor CV Ananda Bose seeks an urgent report on the RG Kar doctor’s alleged rape and murder case, following claims by accused Sanjay Roy.

The hunger strike by junior doctors protesting the WB govt's handling of a colleague's rape & murder at RG Kar entered its 17th day.

A division bench, comprising Chief Justice T.S. Sivagnanam and Justice Bivas Pattanayak, instructed the state to submit the report by October 3. This order was issued in response to a public interest litigation concerning the flood situation in the state, particularly focusing on the worst-affected districts: West Midnapore, Hooghly, and Howrah.

The WB govt is likely to introduce a bill in a special Assembly session, aiming to impose the death penalty for rape and murder convicts.

On Monday, the Joint Forum of West Bengal government employees petitioned the Calcutta High Court for protection against police coercion.

The SC today declined to immediately hear the West Bengal government's petition concerning the inclusion of 77 castes in the OBC.

Pramanik, formerly associated with the TMC, faced accusations in connection with a 2018 incident during the Panchayat elections, where a person was injured by a bullet.
