Controversy Brews as CBI Fails to File Chargesheet in RG Kar Murder Case; Bail Granted to Key Accused

Baby Chakraborty, Kolkata, December 15, 2024: In a development that has sparked outrage among the public and political circles, former officers involved in the RG Kar murder case, including ex-Tala Police Station Officer Abhijit Mondal and former RG Kar Hospital principal Sandeep Ghosh, have been granted bail by a Sealdah court. This decision comes after the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) failed to file a chargesheet within the mandated 90-day period following their arrests, despite the gravity of the allegations, which include rape and murder.

The delay in the CBI’s investigation has ignited widespread anger, particularly from citizens who are questioning the agency's commitment to pursuing justice. The case, which involves the brutal murder of a young woman, has been under intense scrutiny ever since it came to light. While the CBI's investigation has been criticized for its sluggish progress, many feel the agency's lack of action indicates a deeper issue, leading to accusations of political interference.

This frustration is shared by several prominent figures from the Bengali entertainment industry. Tollywood actress Chaiti Ghoshal expressed her disillusionment with the CBI, stating that she no longer trusts the agency, as it has failed to make any significant progress beyond what the state police had done in the initial months. She voiced her support for Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, signaling her belief in the state's handling of the matter.

Actress Manasi Sinha was equally vocal, highlighting the emotional toll the case has taken on the victim's family. "The victim's parents have been waiting for justice for months without any answers. The CBI's inability to file a chargesheet in three months is a betrayal of the public’s trust. How long will we, the common people, wait for justice?" she questioned.

Adding to the chorus of discontent, actress Devlina Dutta expressed her profound disappointment in the CBI's handling of the case. "The CBI's failure to file a chargesheet within 90 days has shattered all hope. The accused are walking free, while the victim's family remains in anguish. What has the CBI done? We are now forced to look to the state police, who have at least made some progress," she said.

There are growing rumors circulating on social media suggesting that the CBI may have been prevented from submitting the chargesheet, a claim that has only fueled public suspicion and mistrust. As the case continues to unfold, the apparent inaction by the CBI has raised concerns about the integrity of the investigation and its political ramifications.

With no clear answers forthcoming and key suspects granted bail, the public’s frustration is palpable. The latest developments have led many to question the role of the CBI in high-profile cases and whether external pressures are influencing its decisions. The case remains unresolved, and with each passing day, the demand for justice grows louder.
