TMC's neta's bizzare remark on Kolkata hospital brutality: 'Rape kahan nahi hota'

Protest against Kolkata rape-murder

Trinamool Congress leader Kunal Ghosh, in an attempt to downplay the horrific incident of rape and murder of a doctor in Kolkata's prestigious RG Kar Hospital, said that rapes happen in other states as well.

Defending the TMC government led by Mamata Banerjee, Ghosh said that the chief minister has taken swift action in response to the incident.

“In Hathras and Unnao, the BJP-ruled Uttar Pradesh government did not take any step. Rather, the relatives of the victims were murdered. But in West Bengal, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has taken all necessary steps. She has demanded death penalty for the culprit. Our senior leader Abhishek Banerjee has sought an encounter,” Ghosh said.

Meanwhile, unidentified persons entered the premises of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital shortly after midnight on Thursday and vandalised portions of the medical facility, where the body of the woman doctor was found last week, police said.

The incident took place amid midnight protests by women against the horrific rape-murder of the doctor at the hospital.
