I have lost faith in India's legal system, says RG Kar victim's father
The father of the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital rape and murder victim expressed deep frustration with the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Tuesday, alleging discrepancies in the agency's reports.
Speaking to ANI, he said, "CBI has presented two drastically different reports in the Calcutta High Court and the Sealdah district Court... We will tell this today in the High Court that two different status reports are being presented... Even Supreme Court judges could not believe the gravity of the report submitted to them... We had faith in the CBI, but now we are losing all hope."
He further claimed that the CBI is aware of the perpetrators behind his daughter's rape and murder but is withholding details, eroding his trust in the agency.
"CBI knows the perpetrators behind the rape and murder of my daughter but it is not revealing the details...," he said.
He claimed concerns that unauthorised access to his daughter's phone may have occurred. His suspicion arose after a friend of his daughter indicated that she had exited their group of friends. He asserted that her phone contains all relevant information.
He further said that he has lost confidence in the legal system.
"My daughter's friends visited me two days ago and showed that somebody has accessed her phone to leave their common WhatsApp group. The CBI has her phone but they deny having it... Her mobile phone has all the answers... I have no faith in anyone in the Indian legal system anymore...,' he said.
The RG Kar Medical College rape and murder incident occurred on August 9, 2024, when a 31-year-old female postgraduate trainee doctor was found dead in a seminar room on campus. The case led to widespread protests and outrage across the country, with many demanding justice for the victim.
The investigation into the incident was transferred to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) after the Calcutta High Court expressed dissatisfaction with the police's handling of the case. The CBI has since arrested several individuals, including the main accused, Sanjay Roy, who has been convicted of the crime.
The top court was hearing a suo motu case in the rape and murder of a trainee doctor, which took place at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. Senior Advocate Karuna Nundy represented the parents of the victims. (ANI)

'Let us also not forget ... Osama bin Laden': MEA rebuts US general's endorsement of Pakistan, cites Pahalgam attack
NEW DELHI: India has strongly rebutted the United States' characterisation of Pakistan as a counter-terrorism partner, with the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) calling out Islamabad's long-standing complicity in nurturing cross-border terrorism. Citing the recent Pahalgam attack as a stark reminder, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal underscored Pakistan's record of harbouring terrorists and facilitating violence on Indian soil. At the weekly media briefing on Thursday, Jaiswal said, 'Pakistan's track record on terrorism is well known. The recent Pahalgam terror attack is only the latest example of cross-border terrorism that India has repeatedly suffered from.' He pointed to the extradition of 26/11 co-conspirator Tahawwur Rana from the United States to India as a sign that justice is finally catching up. 'Let us also not forget that Pakistan gave refuge to Osama bin Laden. The person who helped locate him, Dr Shakil Afridi, remains jailed by the Pakistani military,' he added. Jaiswal's remarks come in response to US Central Command (CENTCOM) chief general Michael Kurilla's statement before the House Armed Services Committee, where he described Pakistan as a 'phenomenal partner in the world of counter-terrorism.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký The general noted that Islamabad had apprehended several 'high-value' IS-K operatives recently. Earlier, external affairs minister S Jaishankar in Brussels also addressed the issue, clarifying that India's actions are not part of a bilateral conflict with Pakistan, but a response to the global threat of terrorism. 'This is not a clash between two states,' Jaishankar said during a joint press conference with EU's High Representative Kaja Kallas. 'This is India responding to terrorism. Don't frame it as India versus Pakistan — think of it as India versus Terroristan.' He reaffirmed India's zero-tolerance policy towards terrorism and emphasized the need for international unity on the issue. 'There must be zero tolerance for terrorism in all its forms. And we must never yield to nuclear blackmail. Terrorism is a shared global challenge and calls for strong, coordinated international action.'

'Uber?' Indian-origin man in Australia claims he countered McDonald's staff after he was mistaken as delivery driver
Praveen Param, an Indian-origin Melbourne man, shared his experience of facing 'everyday racism' in Australia as he went to take food at a McDonald's. Praveen said as soon as he entered, the gentleman behind the counter asked him whether he was from Uber Eats. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Praveen said he told the staff that he came to place an order and received his meal. In his TikTok video, Praveen said he felt like asking the staff why he thought he was an Uber driver. "I said to him, 'just because a lot of people from my ethnic background may do Uber, it doesn't mean everyone does Uber - assuming that only makes you look like an a**hole,"' Praveen Param said. "This white man then obviously decides to double down on his racism and says, 'oh nah I didn't mean it like that, it's just that the people who come into this Maccas who are Indian often end up being Uber drivers'," Praveen said what the staff told him. 'This is the reality of being a South East Asian person living in Australia,' he said. "No matter what your achievements are, how you treat people, how you dress, [or] how you conduct yourself you will always be reduced to some stereotype by some white person out there." "Australians - do better. People here think that they're open-minded, when the reality is they are not." The reaction to his experience was varied, including some asking him to leave Australia. Some pointed out that there should not be any problem to be mistaken for an Uber driver. "Nothing wrong with the assumption. The Uber guy is just doing a job just like you have a job. Nothing bad at all to be assumed you do Uber. Sorry mate. It should not bother you if you respected others doing Uber," one wrote. "I'm half Sri Lankan. I've been stereotyped like that before. Instead of playing the victim I had a laugh with the worker and told them not to worry about it. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now It's not that deep. They're not doing it out of malice," one wrote. DailyMail reported that McDonald's issued a statement apologizing for the incident. "At McDonald's, we are committed to giving our customers a great experience every time they visit our restaurants," a spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia. "Our doors are open to everyone, and we strive to ensure our restaurants are safe, inclusive, and respectful workplaces for our customers and crew."
