Parents of Deceased Doctor Demand CM Mamata Banerjee's Resignation Over Alleged Cover-Up

Baby Chakraborty, Kolkata, January 26, 2025 : The parents of a young doctor, tragically raped and murdered at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, have made serious allegations against the administration, demanding the resignation of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee over the handling of the case.

Abhaya’s father, speaking out in a recent interview, said, "The girl was an employee of the West Bengal government. She was also a student of a government medical college. The state government is fully responsible for her death. There is no reason for the Chief Minister to remain in power under these circumstances." His bold statement has created a stir, as the family claims that the authorities—including the hospital administration, police, and Trinamool Congress—actively worked to cover up the crime from the start.

The mother of the deceased doctor further criticized the investigation, asserting that the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has failed to identify all those involved and has not properly examined key aspects of the case. She also pointed to the mishandling of the crime scene, claiming it was never cordoned off, allowing numerous individuals to freely enter and exit. The parents have raised concerns about the involvement of 68 individuals at the scene, questioning why they were allowed to move without restraint. The mother directly held Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee accountable, demanding that she resign for the role the state government played in the incident.

In response, Trinamool Congress spokesperson Kunal Ghosh dismissed the parents' remarks as politically motivated, suggesting that they were influenced by opposition parties. Ghosh defended the actions of the Chief Minister, stating that Mamata Banerjee had ordered a swift police investigation, resulting in the arrest of the accused. He also noted that the case had been handed over to the CBI under the direction of the Calcutta High Court, stressing that Mamata Banerjee was not at fault. Ghosh reiterated the party's commitment to ensuring the maximum punishment for the culprit.

Meanwhile, one of the accused, Sanjay Roy, has claimed in Sealdah court that he is "innocent" and that he was coerced into signing certain documents. As the case continues to unfold, the dispute between the grieving family and the ruling party shows no signs of abating, with political tensions and allegations of cover-ups complicating an already tragic situation.
