Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud called for non-politicization of the Kolkata doctor rape and murder case during a Supreme Court hearing on Thursday. He urged the Centre and West Bengal governments to keep legal proceedings free from political influence. The court witnessed a heated exchange between Solicitor General Tushar Mehta and West Bengal counsel Kapil Sibal. Sibal asked for action against provocative statements, while Mehta highlighted a controversial remark by a West Bengal minister threatening violence against critics. The Chief Justice stressed that the focus should remain on the law and justice, not political agendas.
