This incident has sparked significant public outrage in Bolpur, especially in light of the recent murder of a trainee female doctor at Kolkata's RG Kar Hospital.
The BJP has demanded the resignation of West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee stating that she should step down otherwise she would be remembered as the leader who failed women.
The late trainee doctor's father said, "The Chief Minister (Mamata Banerjee) speaks at length, walking the streets demanding justice for my daughter. Yet, at the same time, she attempts to suppress public anger. Why is she engaging in duplicity? Is she afraid of people? We have questions that need answers.
While Mamata Banerjee has blamed the left and BJP for the late-night vandalism incident at Kolkata’s RG Kar Hospital, the major arrests in the hospital vandalism incident point otherwise. Among the 30 accused arrested, some of them are linked with the ruling state party, Trinamool Congress
Rajdeep Sardesai brazened out, "Are we saying my friends that whenever a heinous crime occurs in this country, the chief minister must resign? That's a dangerous political game to play."
While Mamata Banerjee wants the CBI to hang the culprit by Sunday, her government is accused of protecting those involved in the case. After the semi-nude body of a PG trainee doctor was discovered inside the seminar hall of RG Kar Medical College on the 9th of August, the hospital management informed her family that she had committed suicide.
Shantanu Sen had openly lambasted Sandip Ghosh, the ex-Principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital who is believed to be close to the ruling TMC government.
