Kolkata rape-murder case: Prime accused sent to judicial remand till September 20 - Agency Report
Members of various organisations stage a protest in Kolkata demanding punishment for culprits involved in the alleged sexual assault and murder of the Kolkata doctorr.
The lawyers associated with the case were present in the court physically, while the accused was there in virtual mode.When the hearing of the case began, Roy started crying, CBI sources said.
His counsel, appointed by the state Legal Aid, prayed for bail stating that her client was framed and he has no link to the crime.Earlier, the judge expressed displeasure since the CBI's investigating officer (IO) and the lawyer were initially absent. The central agency is investigating the matter on an order of the Calcutta High Court.
The ruling Trinamool Congress questioned the delay of the CBI lawyer in reaching the court.
"Where was the Investigating Officer? Where was the counsel? Nowhere to be seen! This is how utterly disinterested the CBI is when it comes to handling the case. It's DELIBERATE SABOTAGE of the judicial process, with CBI playing BJP's loyal sidekick rather than discharging their duty," the Trinamool Congress said in a social media post.
