Suvendu Adhikari Accuses Mamata Banerjee Over RG Kar Attack
Suvendu Adhikari spoke at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital about several cases connected to the hospital.
He accused former chief minister Mamata Banerjee of ordering the hospital vandalism on August 14, 2024.
He also said former Trinamool MLA Atin Ghosh helped mobilise people involved.
These are Adhikari’s allegations, and the article does not give a response from Banerjee or Ghosh.
The hospital had earlier been the site where a 31-year-old trainee doctor was found dead on August 9, 2024.
The CBI investigated her rape and murder, and Sanjay Roy was convicted.
The CBI is also investigating alleged financial irregularities involving former principal Sandip Ghosh in a separate case.
Adhikari described other steps by his government, including an FIR and suspensions of three police officers.
Suvendu Adhikari alleged Mamata Banerjee ordered the August 14, 2024, vandalism at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
He claimed then-Trinamool MLA Atin Ghosh mobilised people involved in the attack; the article does not report a response from either accused person.
The hospital had been the site of the rape and murder of a 31-year-old postgraduate trainee, whose body was found on August 9, 2024.
Suvendu said his government approved prosecution sanction for former principal Sandip Ghosh; the CBI is separately investigating alleged financial irregularities, with Ghosh as prime accused.
He also cited a separate FIR over alleged forcible cremation and the suspension of three IPS officers; the Calcutta High Court stopped a parallel state police investigation into the cremation allegations.
