The Supreme Court on Thursday termed “extremely disturbing” the Kolkata Police‘s delay in registering the unnatural death of the woman doctor, who was raped and murdered at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
It also asked protesting doctors to resume work and assured them that no adverse action would be taken after they rejoin.
Questioning the sequence and timing of legal formalities conducted by police, a Bench comprising Chief Justice DY Chandrachud said it was very surprising that the postmortem of the deceased was conducted on August 9 between 6.10 pm to 7.10 pm before the registration of case as unnatural death.
