Kolkata doctor’s rape-murder case: TMC MP Sukhendu Sekhar Roy moved the Calcutta high court seeking protecting against from arrest.As doctors across the country continue to protest over the rape and murder of a 31-year-old trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata, differences in the Trinamool Congress ranks have come to the fore. The question is doing the rounds in political circles if everything is fine within the Trinamool Congress. Another question being raised is over the silence of Trinamool Congress national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee in the day-to-day activities of the party amid the current political situation in Bengal. Early on Sunday, in a post on X, Trinamool’s Rajya Sabha MP Sukhendu Sekhar Roy demanded custodial interrogation of the Kolkata Police Commissioner and former principal of the medical college, to know who floated the initial “suicide story” and why.The Kolkata Police on Sunday summoned Sukhendu Sekhar Roy, hours after he demanded that the CBI interrogate Kolkata police commissioner. The police have also issued summonses to former BJP MP Locket Chatterjee and two renowned doctors for allegedly spreading rumours and disclosing the identity of the victim.On Monday, Sukhendu Sekhar Roy moved the Calcutta high court seeking protecting against from arrest.Senior TMC leader Kunal Ghosh, however, opposed the demands made by Sukhendu Sekhar Ray, claiming that the police commissioner has diligently done everything necessary since the crime was reported. “His (Roy’s) protest against the crime is right, but I vehemently oppose his demands,” Kunal Ghosh said. The day after RG Kar Medical College and Hospital was vandalised on the night of August 14, Abhishek Banerjee posted on X, urging the administration to arrest those responsible. “The hooliganism and vandalism at RG Kar tonight have exceeded all acceptable limits. As a public representative, I just spoke with @CPKolkata, urging him to ensure that every individual responsible for today’s violence is identified, held accountable, and made to face the law within the next 24 hours, regardless of their political affiliations. The demands of the protesting doctors are fair and justified. This is the minimum they should expect from the government. Their safety and security must be prioritized,” Abhishek Banerjee wrote on X.V
