The Trinamool Congress (TMC), led by Mamata Banerjee, has vehemently denied allegations that Kolkata Police attempted to bribe the family of a trainee doctor who was allegedly raped and murdered at the state-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata on August 9th. The TMC accused the media and the BJP of spreading these claims to further their political agenda.
Shashi Panja, a TMC leader, specifically targeted the BJP, alleging that the party’s IT cell was behind the circulation of “fake videos” online related to the bribery claims. She emphasized that the victim’s family should not be dragged into political matters and that their sole focus is seeking justice for their daughter.
The TMC’s denial comes amid growing public outcry over the doctor’s tragic death. The incident has sparked widespread protests and demands for swift action against the perpetrators. The police are currently investigating the case and have assured the public that they will bring the culprits to justice.
This incident highlights the sensitive nature of the case and the importance of ensuring that the investigation remains free from political interference. The TMC’s accusations against the BJP raise further questions about the potential for political manipulation in the wake of this tragic event.
