Calcutta doctor rape crime scene vandalized by mob? Late last night, when parts of Bengal witnessed mass meetings of women to protest the horrific incident, a mob entered the medical college campus and ran amok. They attacked vehicles, damaged public property and the police used tear gas to disperse the crowd. Several policemen were injured in the clash.
While it is still unclear who is behind the mob violence, Leader of the Opposition Suvendu Adhikari of the BJP has alleged that Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has sent "thugs" from Trinamool College to disrupt the apolitical protest rally near the hospital "She thinks she is the smartest person in the whole world and people will not be able to understand the cunning plan where her followers posing as protesters will mix with the crowd and commit vandalism at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
"He was given a safe passage by the police, who moved away or else demanded that these lumpenas enter the hospital premises and destroy areas containing crucial evidence so that they are not recovered by the CBI," added the chief of BJP. Abhishek Banerjee, Trinamool Congress general secretary and the party's No. 2, said the hooliganism and vandalism at RG Kar tonight "crossed all acceptable limits." "As a public representative, I just spoke to @CPKolkata, asking him to ensure that every individual responsible for today's violence is identified, held accountable and brought to justice within the next 24 hours, regardless of their political affiliation The demands of the doctors are fair and justified. "This is the least they should expect from the government. Their safety should be a priority," Banerjee said in a post on X.
The CBI is currently investigating the rape and murder case that has shocked the nation. The central agency took over the investigation after the Calcutta High Court found that the Calcutta Police had made no significant progress in the case and transferred the case. The victim's parents had filed a petition, seeking a court-controlled investigation to ensure that the evidence had not been tampered with.
