RG Kar Victim's Mother Questions Slow Progress in CBI Probe and Arrest Delays
Ratna Debnath, mother of the RG Kar Hospital rape-murder victim and BJP MLA, expressed dissatisfaction with the Central Bureau of Investigation's slow progress in the case. Speaking in Barrackpore, she questioned why doctors suspected in the crime have not been arrested, despite judicial observations. Debnath also noted that the judicial process has stalled despite a change in West Bengal's government, linking her family's political involvement to concerns over the state's deteriorating healthcare and education systems exposed by her daughter's death.
