Politics has started over the Sealdah Court’s verdict in RG Kar rape-murder case.
While the ruling Trinamool Congress has welcomed the verdict, Opposition parties have called it a plan to shiedl big names.
Trinamool Congress leader Kunal Ghosh welcomed the Sealdah court ruling and said that the ruling “proves” that the arrest and investigation made by the Kolkata Police was “accurate.”
However, Union Minister Sukanta Majumdar alleged that the evidence was “tampered with” by the Kolkata Police, upon which the CBI investigated the case. He also said that the victim might have known something that would have caused problems for West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
“The Court has pronounced him guilty. The punishment is yet to be announced. Commenting on it right now is not appropriate but it is proven that the arrest that the Kolkata Police made within 24 hours, their focus and investigation was accurate,” Kunal Ghosh told the media.
On the other hand, the Bharatiya Janata Party claimed the victim knew something, which would have “caused problems” for Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
He also said that the people of the state believe that more than one person is involved in the case.
“The court has convicted him (Sanjay Roy), but the people of West Bengal believe that more than one person may have been involved in the incident. When the case was being investigated for five days by the Kolkata Police, evidence was tampered with in those five days…. The RG Kar incident has exposed that the law and order situation in the state of West Bengal is not good,” he added.
Notably, the Sealdah Civil and Criminal Court on Saturday found accused Sanjay Roy guilty of the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
