Left parties and Congress protest in Kolkata against CBI's failure to deliver justice in doctor's rape-murder case.
A day after two key suspects in the rape and murder of a doctor at the R.G. Kar hospital got bail, the Left parties and the Congress on Saturday (December 14, 2024) took out protest rallies at various locations in Kolkata, alleging that the CBI has “failed” to deliver justice in the case.
They also alleged that the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) in West Bengal and the BJP-led Centre have a “tacit understanding”.
The Congress took out a procession from Rabindra Sadan area to the CBI office at Nizam Palace in southern Kolkata and criticised the central probe agency for its alleged inability to frame charges against the two accused in the case.
During the procession, Congress activists were seen holding the party flags aloft and chanting slogans like ‘We demand justice’ and ‘Bichar chai Tilottoma (Tilottoma wants justice)‘.
The police stopped the Congress activists from entering the Nizam Palace, which led to a scuffle between the protesters and the police personnel.
Hundreds of people took part in a rally, organised by the West Bengal Junior Doctors Front (WBJDF), from Karunamayee to another CBI office at CGO Complex in the Salt Lake area, covering a distance of one km.
