Kolkata Doctor’s Rape and Murder: The Supreme Court has sharply criticized West Bengal’s handling of the Kolkata doctor’s rape and murder case. Observations revealed serious lapses, including vandalism at RG Kar Hospital by a mob and delays in filing the FIR. The Court’s rebuke underscores concerns about the state’s and police’s actions.
Vandalism and Security Failures at RG Kar Hospital
The recent vandalism at RG Kar hospital, where the Kolkata doctor’s rape and murder occurred, has shocked many. The Supreme Court condemned the lack of security and the destruction of crucial evidence by the mob. The police’s failure to secure the crime scene around the clock has been highlighted.
Discrepancies in the Initial Investigation
Initial attempts to downplay the Kolkata doctor’s death as a suicide by medical college principal Sandeep Ghosh have been heavily criticized. The Supreme Court has pointed out alarming delays in filing the FIR and restricted access to the victim’s body for her grieving parents, raising questions about the integrity of the investigation.
Mamata Banerjee’s Controversial Response
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s role in the aftermath of the Kolkata doctor’s rape and murder has been scrutinized. Her actions, including leading protests and demanding a CBI probe, have been viewed as contradictory and politically motivated. Allegations of cover-ups and disruptions by TMC members further complicate the situation.
A Call for Justice and Accountability
The case of the Kolkata doctor’s rape and murder has exposed severe governance flaws and prompted calls for accountability. As the investigation continues, there is a growing demand for justice not only for the victim but also for the integrity of West Bengal’s law enforcement and political leadership.
