Hours after the Calcutta High Court's Central direction, the Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Tuesday took over the investigation in the alleged rape and murder of a woman doctor at R G Kar Medical College and Hospital in West Bengal.
The agency swiftly completed all formalities following the high court order asking the state police to hand over the case documents to the central probe agency, officials said.
A team of CBI officials from Delhi along with forensic scientists and medical experts will visit Kolkata on Wednesday, they said.
Earlier in the day, the high court ordered the state police to hand over the case diary to the CBI by 10 AM on Wednesday, amid allegations of a botched probe and cover-up as well as protests and strikes by doctors over the incident.
"Under normal circumstances, the court would have granted more time, but this case is exceptional... even after five days, there have been no significant developments, which should have occurred by now," a division Bench, presided by Chief Justice TS Sivagnanam, was quoted as saying by Bar and Bench.
The high court's direction came as resident doctors across the nation remained on strike for a second day paralysing non-urgent elective services in major hospitals following a call to action by the Federation of Resident Doctors' Association of India (FORDA).
