Mr Gandhi’s criticism comes as strain is mounting on Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s authorities over the horrific homicide on the premier state-run hospital in Kolkata.
Not solely has the BJP, the Left and leaders of the state Congress — conventional rivals of Ms Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress — censured the state authorities, the matter has additionally left the civil society shaken.
Ladies — the strongest constituency of Mamata Banerjee — who had ignored the Sandeshkhali incident and voted overwhelmingly for the celebration within the current Lok Sabha election, are holding a midnight march right this moment which is being backed by a few of her personal celebration members.
Below the circumstances, criticism from Mr Gandhi, a nationwide ally, may amplify the sting.
The 41-year-old postgraduate physician had fallen asleep in a seminar room on Thursday evening. Early on Friday morning, her partially clothed physique, bearing a number of accidents, was discovered.
The prime suspect is Sanjoy Roy, a civic volunteer with Kolkata Police who was stationed on the police outpost at RG Kar Medical School and Hospital and had entry to all departments.
He was arrested on foundation of CCTV footage that confirmed him coming into the constructing the place the physician was discovered murdered. A Bluetooth headset discovered subsequent to the girl’s physique was seen on his neck within the CCTV footage. It was discovered to be paired along with his cellphone as properly.
Native media has reported that the person admitted to the crime readily. “Cling me if you’d like,” the native media quoted him as saying to the police.
However there’s hypothesis that the circumstances don’t point out that that is an open and shut case. The unanswered questions and discrepancies have spawned a number of conspiracy theories.
The case is now being investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation, which took over yesterday after an order from the Calcutta Excessive Courtroom.
