Karuna Nundy will now serve as legal counsel for the parents of the RG Karvictim.

In Kolkata, a team led by Karuna Nundy will now be representing the parents of a young female doctor who was tragically raped and murdered in the premises of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. This horrific incident took place in August, causing shock and outrage among the medical community and citizens alike. Nundy and her team will be representing the victim's parents in various courts, including the Supreme Court, Calcutta High Court, and the trial court in Kolkata.

The news of Nundy taking over the case came just one day after Vrinda Grover, the previous counsel for the victim's parents, announced her decision to withdraw from the case. In a statement from Grover's chambers, certain "intervening factors and circumstances" were cited as the reasons for this decision. This is now the second time that the victim's family has had to change their legal representation.

Initially, the victim's family was being represented by senior advocate of the Calcutta High Court and CPI-M Rajya Sabha member Bikas Ranjan Bhattacharya. However, Nundy and her colleague Sabyasachi Chattopadhyay are already representing the Joint Platform of Doctors, West Bengal, an association of senior doctors in the state who have been supporting the protest movement by junior doctors in connection with this case.

In a previous change in counsel, acclaimed lawyer and social activist Indira Jaising was brought in to replace senior advocate Geeta Luthra as the representative for the junior doctors who have been leading the movement on this case. The body of the young doctor was found in the hospital's seminar hall on the morning of August 9, sparking a series of investigations by the Kolkata Police. Eventually, the case was handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation by a division bench of the Calcutta High Court.

The entire incident has caused immense grief and anger among the medical community and the general public, and the victim's parents are determined to seek justice for their daughter. Nundy and her team will now be leading the legal battle on their behalf, and many are hopeful that their efforts will bring the perpetrators to justice and bring about much-needed change in the safety and security of healthcare professionals in the country.
