Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], August 10 : Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Kunal Ghosh said that one person has been arrested in connection with the murder of a second-year postgraduate student at R.G. Kar Medical College and alleged that the BJP and CPI-M were doing politics over it.
Kunal Ghosh said, "The incident is very dangerous and we all condemn it. CM Mamata Banerjee has made it very clear that the police are doing their best. One man has been arrested, and the investigation is underway. The CM has also made it clear that if the family of the deceased wants any other agency to conduct the probe, there will be no objection from the state government. The BJP and CPI-M are making politics."
He further said that the CPI-M should explain the incidents of Bantala, Singur, Nandigram and many more such cases in the past.
"The CPI-M should explain the incidents of Bantala, Nandigram. The BJP should remember Unnao, Hathras, Prayagraj, Manipur etc. The CM is acting like a good guardian and already said that the police will demand for death sentence for the accused. She has taken the strongest stand," he added.
TMC leader Dr Santanu Sen said that CM Mamata Banerjee has spoken to the family members of the deceased.
Dr Santanu Sen said, "This incident has been condemned by every section of society and medical fraternity. CM Mamata Banerjee has spoken to the family members (of the deceased). She instructed the police to take strong actions. The investigation is underway, and one person has been arrested. She has said that the demands, protests and agitation of the junior doctors are legitimate. But at the same time, she requested the doctors to ensure that the patient service system is not hampered. The BJP has started doing vulture politics."
Union Minister Sukanta Majumdar and West Bengal BJP MLA Agnimitra Paul visited the residence of the victim.
Majumdar said that the government should take responsibility for the incident.
Sukanta Majumdar said, "A very shameful and horrific incident has happened. This is a repeat of the Nirbhaya case in Delhi. The kind of incident we are seeing shows that law and order is not good in West Bengal. It is not at all safe for the women. The government should take responsibility for the same. The CBI should investigate it."
