CBI's 2 top women officers to handle RG Kar case

The RG Kar Medical College and Hospital rape-murder case has reportedly been handed over to two of the CBI’s top women officers, who have handled similar cases earlier.

Sampat Meena, a 1994 batch IPS officer from Jharkhand, has been reportedly given the overall charge of the case and will be working in a supervisory capacity, heading a team of 25 officers. She has in the past handled the Hathras rape-murder case and the Unnao rape case.

Officer Seema Pahuja, who was also part of the Hathras investigation team, will reportedly work in a supervisory capacity. She will carry out the ground-level investigation. This Additional Superintendent of Police has received the Gold Medal twice for excellent investigation between 2007 and 2018.
