BJP leader Amit Malviya accused the Mamata Banerjee government in the state of “hiding the crime”. He also claimed that Kolkata Police was instructed to “cover-up” the alleged murder of the woman doctor and “show it as suicide”.
“A woman doctor, in a leading Govt hospital in Kolkata, raped and murdered. Her naked body found from the duty room. Mamata Banerjee Govt is trying to hide the crime. Kolkata Police has been asked to cover up, show it as suicide. Media is not being allowed in. Repeat: no woman, from Sandeshkhali to Chopra, is safe in West Bengal,” Malviya wrote in an X post.
