RG Kar Medical College and Hospital rape and murder case dates back to August 9, 2024, when the body of a trainee doctor was found in a seminar room on campus.
The West Bengal Junior Doctors' Front, which led extensive protests following the discovery of the post-graduate trainee doctor's body on August 9, 2024, held a clinic for underprivileged people at Chitpur in north Kolkata
Adhikari claimed that the police had failed to perform their duty in relation to this case.
The memorial event was also addressed by Ratna Debnath, the victim’s mother, who won the Panihati assembly seat in May
Ratna Debnath had written to me, requesting a fresh investigation. After extensive discussions with the chief secretary and a team of experts, I am announcing a fresh investigation under the Special Commission Act, 1952, says CM Suvendu Adhikari
West Bengal government will establish an inquiry commission for the RG Kar rape-murder case. Police will also investigate the hurried cremation of the trainee doctor, which occurred two years ago. This decision follows a request from the victim's mother, who is now a BJP MLA. The state government aims to ensure justice and punish all responsible individuals. Annual programs will be organized to mark Abhaya Day, commemorating the victim.
The new case includes allegations of criminal conspiracy and destruction of evidence
Former Trinamool Congress MLA Nirmal Ghosh was arrested for his alleged role in a hurried cremation. This incident involved the body of a doctor raped and murdered at RG Kar Medical College. Ghosh and two others face charges for allegedly preventing evidence collection through hasty cremation. The new case is separate from the ongoing CBI investigation into the doctor's rape and murder.
The arrest comes days after Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari, while attending a programme to mark the second death anniversary of the doctor, directed the police to register a separate case into the circumstances surrounding the cremation.
Former TMC MLA Nirmal Ghosh was arrested in Balasore district on Thursday. He is wanted in a fresh case linked to the August 2024 rape-murder incident. West Bengal Police apprehended Ghosh from a hotel near National Highway 16. The arrest follows a complaint filed by the victim's father regarding evidence destruction. Ghosh and two others allegedly pressured the family for a hurried cremation.
