The Supreme Court, on its own, has taken up the rape-murder case of the Kolkata doctor that has shocked the country and thrown the medical fraternity in a turmoil. A three-judge bench led by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud will hear the matter on Tuesday. The case is already being heard by the Calcutta High Court, which, during a hearing last week, ordered that the probe be transferred to the Central Bureau of Investigation or CBI, overriding the state government's Sunday deadline to the police.
