The parents of the doctor who was raped and murdered at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital have alleged that Abesh Banerjee, a doctor and nephew of former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, played a role in attempts to conceal evidence following the crime.

They have urged the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to summon and question him as part of its ongoing probe into the case.

The fresh allegations have added a new dimension to the investigation, which has drawn nationwide attention and sparked widespread outrage.

The victim’s family has maintained that all individuals who may have had any connection to events surrounding the incident should be thoroughly examined to ensure justice is served.

Demand for a Comprehensive Investigation

According to the victim’s parents, several questions surrounding the handling of evidence and the sequence of events after the crime remain unanswered.

They have called on the CBI to investigate every possible lead without exception and to examine the alleged involvement of Abesh Banerjee in the aftermath of the incident.

The family believes that a transparent and impartial investigation is essential to uncover the truth. Their latest demand comes amid continuing scrutiny over the circumstances surrounding the case and allegations of irregularities during the initial stages of the investigation.

CBI Probe Continues

The CBI has been conducting its investigation into the rape and murder case following directions from the courts. The agency has questioned several individuals and examined various aspects related to the crime and the subsequent handling of the case.

As of now, there has been no official statement from the CBI regarding the victim family’s demand to question Abesh Banerjee. Similarly, no response has been issued by Abesh Banerjee or representatives associated with former Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee concerning the allegations.

Case That Triggered Nationwide Protests

The brutal crime at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital triggered massive protests across the country, with doctors, healthcare professionals, and civil society groups demanding swift justice and improved safety measures for medical workers.

The case has remained under intense public and political scrutiny, with repeated calls for accountability and transparency. With the victim’s parents now seeking the questioning of another individual, attention is once again focused on the CBI’s investigation and whether it will act on the family’s latest allegations.

The investigation remains ongoing, and authorities have yet to comment on the new claims made by the victim’s family.
