RG Kar Victim’s Mother Questions Delay in Justice, Says Two Months Have Passed Since BJP Came to Power
BJP MLA Ratna Debnath, the mother of the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital rape-murder victim, has expressed concern over the delay in delivering justice, reminding the government of its earlier promise to resolve the case quickly.
Speaking to the media, Debnath said that before the elections, the Chief Minister had assured that justice for her daughter, whom the BJP referred to as "Abhaya," would be ensured within seven days of forming the government. However, she pointed out that nearly two months have now passed since the BJP assumed office, and the promise remains unfulfilled.
Despite raising questions over the delay, Ratna Debnath maintained that she continues to have faith in the government. "The Chief Minister has fulfilled most of the promises made to the people. I still believe the government will ensure justice for my daughter," she said.
The RG Kar rape-murder case became one of the biggest political issues in West Bengal, with the BJP making it a central campaign theme during the Assembly elections. The party repeatedly accused the previous Trinamool Congress (TMC) government of failing to ensure justice and promised swift action if voted to power.
The case had triggered nationwide outrage, widespread protests by doctors and civil society, and demands for stronger measures to ensure women's safety and faster investigation into crimes against women. The victim's family continues to await justice as the investigation and legal proceedings move forward.
