R G Kar Victim's Mother Criticizes CBI Probe, Alleges Medical College CorruptionPreviousNext

Ratna Debnath, BJP MLA and mother of the R G Kar Hospital rape-murder victim, has expressed dissatisfaction with the Central Bureau of Investigation's (CBI) probe, alleging it has made little progress. She criticized ongoing corruption in West Bengal's medical colleges despite the change in government and plans to approach Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari for justice and investigation into these allegations. The case was transferred to the CBI following a Calcutta High Court order, but the victim's family remains concerned about unresolved issues.
