"Guilty must get death penalty": TMC's Kunal Ghosh on RG Kar rape-murder case

Kolkata (West Bengal), January 17 : Ahead of Sealdah Court pronouncing the verdict in the RG Kar rape-murder case, Trinamool Congress leader Kunal Ghosh on Friday, said that the guilty in the case should get a 'death penalty'.
He emphasised that the person who was arrested by the West Bengal police within 24 hours of the incident and also arrested by the CBI.
"We hope that the person who was arrested by the police within 24 hours of the incident, whom CBI also found guilty of the crime, gets a guilty verdict and death penalty... When the trial is about to end, CPI-M is creating confusion. Do they want the accused to get death by hanging or not?" said Kunal Ghosh.
The case, which involves the rape and murder of a trainee doctor whose body was found on August 9 in the hospital's seminar room, sparked widespread protests. After the incident, Sanjay Roy, a civic volunteer at the hospital, was arrested in connection with the crime.
Notably, the Sealdah court is likely to pronounce its judgement on January 18 in the rape and murder case of an RG Kar doctor. The incident has shocked the nation and the victim's family, who continue to seek justice for their daughter.
In November last year, the CBI filed a chargesheet concerning financial irregularities at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
The chargesheet named Sandip Ghosh and others, including Dr. Ashish Kumar Pandey, Biplab Singha, Suman Hazra, and Afsar Ali Khan, for their involvement in financial misconduct. This investigation was initiated following an order by the Calcutta High Court.
In addition to the corruption case, Sandip Ghosh faced questioning regarding the murder case. As part of the probe, the CBI conducted polygraph tests on him.
A delay in filing the chargesheet resulted in bail being granted to the accused, including Abhijit Mondal and Sandip Ghosh.
