Accused in RG Kar Rape-Murder case granted bail, protests erupt

The duo was granted bail after the Central Bureau of Investigation, which is probing the rape and murder of a postgraduate trainee doctor at the state-run health-care facility in Kolkata on August 9, failed to submit its charge-sheet within the stipulated 90 days.

CBI sleuths had arrested Ghosh and Mondal on September 14 on charges of "destruction of evidence" in the case that rocked Bengal and the country and sparked widespread protests spearheaded by the junior doctors. While Abhijit Mondal was accused of alleged delay in filing of the FIR, Ghosh was accused of tampering of evidence in the case.
