The
Supreme Court on Tuesday directed the CBI to submit a status report on the
probe into alleged financial irregularities at the R G Kar Medical College and
Hospital in Kolkata where a trainee doctor was raped and murdered last month.
The
top court also perused the status report filed by the CBI concerning the rape
and murder incident and said disclosing the status will jeopardise further
investigation.
Refusing
to stop streaming live proceedings in the suo motu case related to the
incident, the apex court said it was a matter of public interest and the public
must know what is transpiring in the courtroom.
A
bench comprising Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and Justices J B Pardiwala and
Manoj Misra perused the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) report and said
disclosing the status would jeopardise further investigation.
As
the hearing commenced, senior advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing for the West
Bengal government, sought the stopping of live proceedings in the case. He
alleged that women lawyers of the chamber are facing threats of acid attacks
and rapes.
