Parents of RGK victim withdraw fresh probe plea

NEW DELHI: Parents of the victim in the RG Kar rape and murder case withdrew their plea seeking a fresh probe into the incident before the Supreme Court Wednesday. The SC bench asked advocate Karuna Nundy whether it should proceed with the case, as a plea regarding similar issues had already been filed before Calcutta HC. SC warned Nundy to be cautious with her arguments as there is already a conviction against the sole accused (now convict) Sanjoy Roy in the case.

It suggested the counsel withdraw the plea and file a fresh one, noting that original plea had been filed by the victim's parents before the trial and conviction. Nundy withdrew the plea, with the liberty to file a fresh one as per the SC's order..
