On Friday, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee spoke out against the CPI and BJP, accusing them of orchestrating vandalism at RG Kar hospital and trying to conceal the truth behind the rape and murder of a woman doctor by spreading false information on social media. Banerjee emphasized her call for the perpetrators of this heinous crime to receive capital punishment and praised the Kolkata Police for their initial investigation, which was later taken over by the CBI.
Addressing a rally, Banerjee urged the CBI to solve the case by Sunday and demanded that the culprits be publicly executed. She expressed her desire for the truth to be revealed, but denounced the spreading of lies and fake news on social media to mislead the public. Banerjee led a protest rally from Moulali to Dorina Crossing in Kolkata, demanding justice for the woman doctor who was allegedly raped and murdered at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital last week.
Banerjee also called attention to the alleged collaboration between the Left and BJP, claiming that they were responsible for the vandalism at the hospital. She accused them of attempting to destroy evidence of the crime by damaging the hospital and its equipment. The woman post-graduate trainee doctor was reportedly raped and murdered on August 9th in the seminar room of the state-run health facility. The following day, a civic volunteer was arrested in connection with the crime.
In the early hours of Thursday, a group of people entered the hospital and caused damage to the emergency department, nursing unit, and medicine store. They also destroyed CCTV cameras and ransacked a stage where junior doctors were protesting against the alleged rape and murder of their colleague, as well as demanding better security at their workplace. Banerjee strongly condemned these acts of violence and vandalism, urging for the guilty parties to be punished. The incident has caused outrage and sparked widespread demands for justice and safety measures for healthcare workers.
