BJP Leader Suvendu Adhikari Accuses Kolkata Police of Evidence Tampering in Doctor’s Case
Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], September 15: Suvendu Adhikari, Leader of the Opposition in the West Bengal Legislative Assembly and BJP leader, has accused the Kolkata police of tampering with evidence. This accusation follows the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arresting Abhijit Mondal, the officer-in-charge of Tala police station, and Sandip Ghosh, the former principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, in connection with the rape and murder of a trainee doctor in Kolkata.
In a post on X, Adhikari stated, “The arrest of Abhijit Mondal; Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Tala Police Station (PS), has established that the Police were directly involved in tampering evidence and acted as a stimulant to create lacuna in order to derail the investigation into the Rape and Murder of the RG Kar PGT Lady Doctor. The procedural lapses were well orchestrated and closely monitored by the top officials of @KolkataPolice.”
Adhikari also demanded the resignation of Mamata Banerjee, the Chief Minister of West Bengal, saying, “@CPKolkata Vineet Goyal should be suspended immediately and Home Minister Mamata Banerjee must resign as she doesn’t have any moral authority left to continue as the head of the Home Dept.”
Union Minister Sukanta Majumdar commented on the arrests, stating, “The arrests made today are very important. Especially the arrest of the Station In-charge of Tala Police Station… He was arrested on charges of tampering with the rape and murder case. The people of West Bengal were demanding for a long time that he be arrested… My question is, can a small Station In-charge take such a decision? He must have received instructions from above… Naturally, the people at the top should be arrested… Vineet Goyal should resign right now or else the people of West Bengal will remove the Chief Minister from his post.”
Meanwhile, junior doctors in Kolkata continue their protest for the fifth consecutive night at Swasthya Bhawan in the Salt Lake area.
