The Supreme Court scrutinizes West Bengal’s ‘Ratirer Sathi’ scheme for recruiting civic volunteers after one was implicated in a rape-murder case. The Court demands recruitment details and restricts their deployment in hospitals and schools. Senior advocates argue for limiting their police duties while the state prepares to recruit 1,514 volunteers.
