In a significant development in the case of the rape and murder of a doctor at a medical college and hospital in Kolkata, the Calcutta High Court has ordered the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to take over the investigation. The court has asked the police to hand over all relevant documents to the CBI immediately.

Earlier, the High Court had directed the state government to submit a status report on the investigation into the gruesome incident. The court's move comes after concerns were raised about the delay in recording the statement of the former principal of the medical college and hospital where the doctor was attacked.

The court has also questioned the state government on its efforts to address the concerns of protesting doctors who have been demanding justice for their colleague. The case has sparked widespread outrage and demands for a thorough investigation.

As the CBI takes over the investigation, the people of Kolkata are eagerly waiting for the outcome. The case is a stark reminder of the importance of ensuring safety and security for all individuals, including healthcare professionals.
