The Supreme Court has transferred the high-profile RG Kar Medical College trainee doctor rape and murder case to the Calcutta High Court for continued monitoring. Initially investigated by Kolkata police, the case involving the murder of a postgraduate trainee doctor found in the hospital's seminar room last August led to nationwide protests. Despite the conviction of civic volunteer Sanjay Roy to life imprisonment, the court continues oversight on related issues including healthcare professional safety measures and unauthorized doctor absences.
