The RG Kar rape and murder case has returned to the political spotlight after BJP MLA Ratna Debnath, mother of the victim, sharply criticised former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee following a meeting with Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari at Nabanna. Debnath’s statement — “I lost my daughter, she lost her chair” — has triggered fresh political controversy in Bengal. The development comes days after the Calcutta High Court ordered a three-member CBI SIT to probe events surrounding the RG Kar case, including allegations of evidence tampering and institutional cover-up. The case, involving the rape and murder of a trainee doctor inside RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in 2024, had sparked nationwide outrage and protests by doctors across India.
