West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari has ordered a fresh investigation into the RG Kar rape-murder case under the Special Commission Act, 1952, following a request from the victim's mother, Ratna Debnath. He announced the decision after discussions with the chief secretary and a team of experts. In a separate move, Adhikari ordered a probe into the cremation of the victim and named three Trinamool Congress leaders in connection with that inquiry. Debnath, who won the Panihati assembly seat in May, had written to the chief minister seeking a reinvestigation of the case. She also addressed a memorial event for her daughter. No further details about the named leaders or the scope of the new probes were provided.
