Protests are being held in the country against the incident of rape and murder of a trainee female doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in West Bengal. Students and doctors of various medical colleges are protesting even today. People are also raising their voice prominently on social media.
On the other hand, Kolkata Police is sending notices to several people for allegedly posting wrong information regarding the incident, which also includes the name of TMC Rajya Sabha MP Sukhendu Shekhar Ray.
Mamata’s minister’s bad words
Amidst all this, West Bengal Minister Udayan Guha has become angry over the continuous questions being raised on the Bengal government. While giving a controversial statement in Cooch Behar, he said that arrangements will have to be made to break the fingers of those who are raising fingers against Mamata Banerjee.
Udayan Guha said, ‘Those who are abusing Mamata Banerjee on social media and those who are pointing fingers and demanding Mamata Banerjee’s resignation. Those fingers will have to be identified and arrangements will have to be made to break them. Otherwise these people will try to convert Bengal into Bangladesh. But they don’t know that Mamata Banerjee has not made the mistake that Hasina did. Despite vandalism in the hospital, Mamata Banerjee did not open fire.
This allegation has been made against the student
Kolkata Police has arrested a college student who has been accused of posting controversial posts on social media. A 23-year-old student has been arrested by Taltala police station for posting “objectionable comments” against CM Mamata Banerjee and allegedly revealing the identity of a rape victim.
