Baby Chakraborty, KalimNews, December 14, 2024, Kolkata : The Kolkata Appellant rape-murder case continues to stir controversy as former RG Kar Medical College Principal Sandeep Ghosh and police officer Abhijit Mondal were granted bail. This development has sparked widespread anger, with the victim’s father and junior doctors expressing strong discontent over the decision.
The victim’s father voiced his frustration, stating that the bail decision reflects the Central Bureau of Investigation’s (CBI) inefficiency. He criticized the investigative agency for failing to file a chargesheet within the stipulated 90-day period, which resulted in the court granting bail to the accused.
The release of Abhijit Mondal from jail has further fueled unrest. Junior doctors at RG Kar Medical College expressed outrage, with Junior Doctor Aniket Mahato condemning the CBI’s inability to meet critical deadlines. At a press conference on Friday, he called for accountability from the investigative agency, questioning the reasons behind their failure to file a chargesheet against the accused.
Mahato urged civil society to join the protest, emphasizing the gravity of the case and the need for a united response. He announced that a meeting of the Junior Doctors’ Front will be held on Saturday to decide the next course of action. The group has hinted at a renewed agitation to ensure justice for the victim and accountability from the authorities involved.
The incident has also reignited debates over the efficiency of the judicial process and the responsibility of investigative agencies in sensitive cases. The bail of the accused is being perceived by many as a setback in the pursuit of justice, intensifying calls for swift and decisive action.
With protests looming, the coming days are likely to witness increased pressure on the CBI and the judicial system to address public concerns and ensure that justice prevails.
