Union Minister Murugan strongly condemns Kolkata rape-murder, criticises Bengal government
Union Minister L. Murugan strongly condemned the rape and murder of a trainee doctor in Kolkata and criticised the West Bengal government for “failure” to take action.
“It’s a strongly condemnable incident. The West Bengal chief minister should have taken severe action against the accused, but they failed. That’s where the CBI entered and CBI filed the case and CBI started the inquiry,” said the minister yesterday.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has received permission to conduct a polygraph test on the arrested accused, CBI sources said earlier. On August 18, the CBI team examined and conducted 3D laser mapping in the emergency ward of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata.
The Supreme Court has taken suo motu cognizance of the rape and murder case, with a bench led by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud scheduled to hear it today.
