Who is Arup Dutta?
Arup Dutta, an Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) with the Kolkata Police, was called in for questioning by the CBI in connection with the Kolkata rape-and-murder case. Dutta, who is also a member of the Police Welfare Committee, received multiple calls from accused Sanjoy Roy on the night of the incident. Roy, who lived in Dutta's barrack, returned there after the crime.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court also heard the matter after taking Suo moto cognisance. The Supreme Court said it will constitute a 10-member task force to formulate a national protocol for ensuring the safety, and facilities of doctors. While hearing the horrific rape and murder case of a Kolkata doctor, the SC also urged the agitating doctors to have faith in the apex court and return to work. Taking the West Bengal government and RG Kar Hospital authorities, the SC questioned the delay in filing the FIR and the hurry of reappointing the principal to some other hospital. The Supreme Court has asked for a status report of the investigation from the CBI and has also sought a report from the West Bengal government on the ruckus at the RG Kar hospital. The next hearing will be on August 22.
