The parents of the victim in the RG Kar rape-murder case have withdrawn their plea seeking a fresh investigation before the Supreme Court. The decision comes amidst allegations of evidence tampering and political criticism surrounding the case.

BJP’s West Bengal president, Sukanta Majumdar, on Wednesday condemned the alleged maligning of the victim’s family. He asserted that he would visit them to express his support, criticizing the initial five-day investigation conducted by the Kolkata police. Majumdar alleged that evidence was destroyed during this period, affecting the possibility of true justice.
