RG Kar case: Victim's parents express apprehension over neutrality factor in CBI probe

The parents of the victim in the R.G. Kar rape and murder case on Wednesday expressed doubts at a trial court here that the ongoing Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe in the matter might not be a neutral one considering a top official of the probe agency and a senior officer of the West Bengal Police department who was involved in a controversy in the same case were of the same IPS batch.

The two IPS officers named by the counsel of the victim's parents at the trial court on Wednesday were the CBI's additional director, Sampat Meena, who was in overall charge of the investigation of the ghastly rape and murder of a junior woman doctor of the state-run R.G. Kar Medical College & Hospital in Kolkata within the hospital premises in August last year.

The officer from West Bengal named by the counsel of the victim's parents in the matter is the former Kolkata Police Commissioner and the current additional director general of the special task force of West Bengal Police, Vineet Kumar Goyal.
