 
The first major legal development came in the wake of Kolkata court’s denial to bail for a policeman, Sandip Ghosh, in high-profile RG Kar case. The charges are so severe against Ghosh that the court becomes confrontational with capital punishment.
The case is sharply highlighted due to its interest as it involves a law enforcer and great charges against him.
CBI records modified, fabricated in the case
The Central Bureau of Investigation has deposed before the court that it had suspections that the records have been altered or wrongly created and hence they have been sent for forensic examination.
While adding that there are additional evidences which can be meted out with Mondal having appeared in the CCTV footages of the police station”, it has told the court that involvement of Sandip Ghosh and Tala police station officer in charge (Abhijit Mondal) is likely in this case.
The CBI, which cross-examined Mondal and Ghosh in its custody, has brought in the accused after completing their remand. The special court has sent them to judicial custody till September 30.
Mondal was arrested on September 14, while Ghosh was taken into custody on September 15 after he was served the CBI order while already in judicial custody in a separate corruption case. The CBI had arrested prime suspect Sanjay Roy on August 10, a day after the victim’s body was discovered inside a seminar hall, after “his role in the commission of crime had already emerged”.
A special court in Kolkata on Wednesday rejected the bail pleas of former RG Kar principal Dr Sandip Ghosh and suspended police officer Abhijit Mondal — the two accused in connection with the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at the medical facility. The court observed the charges against the two accused are such that during trial, they might be considered “rarest of rare” and this can lead to “capital punishment”.
“On the other hand, the nature and gravity of the accusation is grave and if proved there might be a capital punishment, which is only given in the rarest of rare case and in that situation this Court is of the opinion that, it would be injustice flouting the principle of equity, to release the accused on bail,” it said in its order. Kolkata.
Court’s Rationale for Denying Bail
The seriousness of the offense made the court not to grant bail. The court during the trial said, “Capital punishment would certainly come against Ghosh if she is found guilty.” So the gravity of the offense outweighed for the seriousness of the offense as the prosecution had a very strong case to reject the plea of bail.
More about the RG Kar Case
The RG Kar case pertains to corruption allegations, misconduct, and even further, more serious misconduct and offenses which, it is believed, are not yet totally exposed. Directly said to be involved is police officer Sandip Ghosh. Several officials whose participation remains under probe also are entangled in the cases. Further potential revelation is apt to affect the progress of the case as the case is at present undergoing a deep investigation.
Judicial Proceedings and Further Actions
Since the court rejected putting Ghosh behind the bail, he will be in jail throughout the entire trial. His attorneys may appeal to the verdict, but appeal can become stiff concerning the capital punishment issued against him. The prosecution stick to their course of taking the case to its rightful conclusion, informing everyone that the case will be served fairly.
Public Response and Impact on Law Enforcement
The public interest in this case has been very high mainly because it involves a police officer, and those questions do raise concerns against the integrity of law enforcement. Public eyes are on the process, and how the case goes may influence what the people view concerning the police force in Kolkata. This case may also enforce reforms in the force to avoid such incidents from reoccurring.
As the legal process moves ahead, the RG Kar case will surely stay in the limelight. The court’s denial of bail signifies the gravity of allegations, adding intricacy to the matters concerned, where capital punishment may lead to complexity in the trial process.
