The Centre on Tuesday moved the Supreme Court alleging “unpardonable” non-cooperation by the West Bengal government in providing logistical support to the CISF, tasked with providing security at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata, where a trainee doctor was raped and murdered.
Terming the alleged non-cooperation of the TMC government as an example “symptomatic of a systemic malaise”, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs has sought a direction to state authorities to extend full cooperation to the CISF. In case of their failure to do so, the Centre urged the apex court to initiate contempt proceedings against the state government officials concerned for wilful non-compliance of the court orders.
