New Delhi [India], August 19 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party on Monday launched no-hold-barred attacks on West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and alleged that TMC supremo has destroyed the “crucial evidence” in the sexual assault and murder of a woman trainee PG doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia, holding a press conference here today termed Mamata as the “destroyer”.
He said, “Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee also holds portfolios of the Home Ministry and Health Ministry. Today all the people, women are angry and the public demands Mamata’s resignation. Mamata has become a destroyer.”
“We want justice and the Chief Minister of West Bengal should resign. By her misdeeds, West Bengal CM has destroyed the dignity of a woman, a doctor who was serving society. She is the destroyer of the rule of law and evidence in this heinous crime which is vital to ensure that the accused get the punishment that they deserve. As per the new criminal law, Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita, the death penalty is the punishment prescribed. Why is Mamata hell-bent to destroy the evidence which is crucial in the case?” Bhatia said.
The BJP spokesperson also pointed out that CM Mamata Banerjee rewarded former principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital instead of taking action against him for the murder and rape of the tranee doctor.
“He who earlier was the principal of that hospital, it was his responsibility to protect all the doctors there, no action was taken but he was rewarded. Mamata destroys the identity of a woman and the provisions of the Constitution which she had sworn to follow,” Bhatia added.
On August 9, a postgraduate trainee doctor was allegedly raped and murdered on duty at RG Kar Medical College in Kolkata, which has led to nationwide strikes and civil societies and doctors across States protested against the incident and demanded severe punishment to the accused persons and sought safety and security for themselves. The Kolkata Police arrested a civic volunteer the next day in this connection.
Calcutta High Court directed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to take over the investigation, after expressing a lack of satisfaction with the Kolkata Police.
The investigation into the case is progressing, with the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) employing advanced techniques such as 3D laser mapping of the emergency ward where the crime took place. Additionally, the CBI has conducted psychological evaluations of the primary suspect.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court of India has also taken note of the case, with Chief Justice DY Chandrachud leading a bench that will hear the matter on August 20. (ANI)
