Incident/policy context. Original factual graphic; read the report for attribution and the full account.
On 16 February 2018, the Supreme Court asked the CBI’s lawyer to obtain instructions on widow Gulbahar Bibi’s request for an independent investigation and compensation. She also wanted the killing video removed from online platforms.
Documented milestone. This historical record does not establish the current final outcome.
Her lawyer sought transfer of the investigation from Rajasthan to West Bengal. The court left that question for later consideration. Seeking the agency’s response did not itself transfer the investigation or establish the accused’s guilt.
This historical report records that procedural step. It does not claim a verified final verdict or the present status of subsequent proceedings.
