West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari announces a fresh investigation into the 2024 R.G. Kar rape-murder case. He says the move follows a request made by Ratna Debnath and follows discussions with senior officials and experts.
Adhikari states that the investigation is being initiated under the Special Commission Act, 1952. The announcement is presented as a new probe rather than a continuation of earlier steps, with the Chief Minister citing consultations with the chief secretary and a team of experts. Both outlets report the same decision, framing it as an administrative action grounded in formal legal authority.
While the sources largely agree on the decision and its basis, the details provided are limited to the announcement itself. India Today echoes the report that the Chief Minister orders a fresh probe into the case, while The Hindu provides slightly more context about the request and the discussions leading up to the decision.
