Kolkata rape, murder case: ‘Police involved in tampering with evidence,’ says Bengal LoP Suvendu Adhikari | India News – Times of India
NEW DELHI: The Leader of the Opposition (LOP) in the West Bengal Legislative Assembly Suvendu-Adhikari has accused of the Kolkata Police of being involved in “manipulating evidence“after the arrest of Abhijit Mondalthe officer in charge of Tala Police Station, by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
In a post on X, the BJP leader said, “The arrest of Tala Police Station (PS) in-charge Abhijit Mondal has shown that the police were directly involved in falsifying evidence and acted as an incentive to create a loophole to thwart the investigation into the case. Rape and murder of the RG Kar PGT Lady Doctor. The procedural lapses were well orchestrated and were closely watched by the top officials of the Kolkata Police.”
The CBI on Saturday arrested Sandip Ghosh, the former principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, and Abhijit Mondal in connection with the rape and murder of a junior doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata.
Adhikari called for the immediate suspension of Kolkata police chief Vineet Goyal and demanded the resignation of Mamata Banerjee as the state’s home minister, saying “she has no moral authority to continue as the head of the home ministry”.
Meanwhile, in Kolkata, young doctors are protesting for the fifth night in a row at Swasthya Bhawan in the Salt Lake area.
On Saturday, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee visited the protesting doctors to express their concerns and assured them that their demands would be met. She also promised that those responsible for the incident would face consequences.
During her interaction with the doctors, the Chief Minister expressed her concern over their situation and said that she was worried about their well-being as they protested in the rain all night. “I have been a student leader myself and have faced a lot of difficulties in life, so I understand your situation. I am not worried about my position. It was raining all night while you were protesting and I was worried… I will look into your demands. I am not running the government alone; I will consult senior officials and find a solution. Whoever is guilty will be punished. I ask for some time. The state government will not take any action against you,” she said.
She further urged the protesting doctors to return to work, saying, “I request you to resume your work. All works related to the development, infrastructure and security of the hospital have started and will continue.”
The protest was triggered by the rape and murder of a second-year medical student in the seminar hall of RG Kar Medical College on August 9.
