Will hand over doctor murder case to CBI if police fails to solve case by Sunday: Mamata Banerjee

NEW DELHI: West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday said her government will hand over the RG Kar hospital doctor murder probe to the CBI if police fails to solve the case by Sunday. Banerjee also said she wants the case to be tried in a fast track court. “If the police are unable to solve this by Sunday, we will hand over the case to the CBI. However, the success rate of the central probe agency is very low,” Banerjee told reporters here after visiting the residence of the deceased doctor.
