NEW DELHI: The leader of opposition (LOP) in the West Bengal legislative assembly Suvendu Adhikari has accused the Kolkata police of being involved in " tampering evidence " following the arrest of Abhijit Mondal , the officer-in-charge of Tala police station, by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
In a post on X, the BJP leader said, "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 Kolkata police."
The CBI arrested Sandip Ghosh, the former principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, and Abhijit Mondal on Saturday in connection with the rape and murder of a trainee doctor in Kolkata's R G Kar Medical College and Hospital.
Adhikari called for the immediate suspension of Vineet Goyal, the Commissioner of Police, Kolkata, and demanded the resignation of Mamata Banerjee as state home minister, saying that "she doesn't have any moral authority left to continue as the head of the home department".
Meanwhile, junior doctors in Kolkata continue their protest for the fifth consecutive night at Swasthya Bhawan in the Salt Lake area.
On Saturday, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee visited the protesting doctors to address their concerns and assure them that their demands would be met. She also promised that those responsible for the incident would face consequences.
During her interaction with the doctors, the chief minister expressed her concern over their situation, saying that she had been worried about their well-being as they protested in the rain throughout the night. "I have been a student leader myself and have struggled a lot in life, so I understand your situation. I am not concerned about my position. It rained all night while you were protesting, and I was worried... I will review your demands. I don't run the government alone; I will consult senior officials and find a solution. Whoever is guilty will be punished. I ask for some time. The state government will not take any action against you," she said.
She further urged the protesting doctors to return to work, saying, "I request you to resume work. All the work related to the development, infrastructure, and security of the hospital has begun and will continue."
The protest was triggered by the rape and murder of a second-year postgraduate medical student inside the seminar hall of RG Kar Medical College on August 9.
