BJP’s Sukanta Mazumdar Condemns Victim’s Family Maligning In RG Kar Rape-Murder Case, Calls For Justice

Kolkata, West Bengal – BJP’s West Bengal president Sukanta Mazumdar strongly condemned the maligning of the victim’s family in the RG Kar rape-murder case and announced his plan to visit them to show solidarity.

Key Allegations by Mazumdar

📌 Kolkata Police’s Investigation Compromised Justice

  • Mazumdar alleged that during the initial five-day probe, critical evidence was destroyed, weakening the case.
  • He questioned the efficiency of the city police, implying that justice had been delayed due to mishandling of crucial proof.

📌 Shameful Treatment of the Victim’s Family

  • The BJP leader condemned attempts to malign the victim’s family, calling it an injustice.
  • He emphasized the need for accountability and vowed to support the family in their fight for justice.

Victim’s Family Withdraws Supreme Court Plea

⚖️ On Wednesday, the victim’s parents withdrew their plea before the Supreme Court, which had sought a fresh probe into the case.
⚖️ The original plea was filed as an Intervention Application (IA) in a suo motu case initiated by the Supreme Court in August 2023, soon after the crime occurred.
⚖️ The Court advised Senior Advocate Karuna Nundy to withdraw the plea and file a fresh one, considering that Sanjoy Roy (the accused) had already been convicted.

Conviction & Public Uproar

✔️ On January 20, a Sealdah Civil and Criminal Court convicted Sanjoy Roy and sentenced him to life imprisonment for rape and murder.
✔️ The verdict has sparked public outrage, especially among doctors and medical workers, demanding capital punishment (death penalty) for the accused.
✔️ Many activists and opposition leaders are also calling for a fresh investigation into the case due to concerns over the police’s handling of evidence.

Growing Demand for Retrial & Stricter Punishment

The case has reignited debates over the efficacy of law enforcement in West Bengal and the need for stricter punishments for sexual crimes.

🚨 What’s Next?

  • Sukanta Mazumdar’s visit to the victim’s family could escalate political tensions.
  • A potential retrial plea might be filed in the Supreme Court, demanding harsher punishment for Sanjoy Roy.
  • Public and legal debates over whether the investigation was compromised will likely continue.

The RG Kar case remains a flashpoint in Bengal’s political and legal landscape, with many demanding stronger action against sexual violence and judicial reform.
