RG Kar Victim's Mother Questions CBI Probe, Alleges Ongoing Medical College Corruption
Ratna Debnath, BJP MLA and mother of the RG Kar Hospital rape-murder victim, has expressed dissatisfaction with the Central Bureau of Investigation's (CBI) probe, alleging insufficient progress and questioning the need for a federal investigation. She also accused West Bengal's medical colleges of persistent corruption despite a change in government and plans to approach Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari to seek justice and action. The case was transferred to the CBI following a Calcutta High Court order, but the victim's family maintains that suspects remain unpunished.
