Supreme Court voices concern over 'missing dead-body challan

A bench headed by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud said there was no reference of the 'challan' (document) used and sought an answer from the CBI and the West Bengal government. The document referred to was the 'dead-body challan' which is a form that is filled up and sent with the body which is to undergo autopsy.
