"How long will the RG Kar victim's family have to wait for justice," Mr. O'Brien, the TMC's Parliamentary Party Leader in the Rajya Sabha, said in the post.

The Supreme Court is monitoring the case, he said, adding, "CBI has the accused & all the evidence. Why is it not filing a chargesheet & starting trial?"

"We all want swift justice. Why is CBI delaying the trial? We need answers," Mr. O'Brien said.

The body of an on-duty post-graduate trainee doctor was found in the seminar room of the West Bengal government-run R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital last month. She was raped and murdered.
