Banerjee met the doctor’s family on Monday, who was raped and murdered at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata, last week.

“If the police are unable to solve this by Sunday, we will hand over the case to the CBI. However, the success rate of the central probe agency is very low,” PTI quoted Banerjee as saying after she visited the house of the doctor.

After the nearly hour-long meeting, the CM told reporters: “We are trying our best to solve the case. I don’t know how this type of incident can happen at a hospital. Police are giving utmost importance to the investigation. If there are more accused, and all are not arrested by Sunday, we will hand over the case to the CBI – even though their success rate is low.”

In the meantime, resident doctors from across West Bengal demanded the resignation of the principal of the medical college. On Monday, Sandip Ghosh the principal of the medical college resigned from his post. He was also called for a fast-track judicial inquiry about the case, an apology from the Kolkata police, and compensation for the victim’s family.

After his resignation, Ghosh said, “I am being defamed on social media. Some people are spreading false accusations against me. Students are being provoked to seek my removal. The deceased doctor was like my child, and I want the guilty to be punished. As a parent, I am resigning.”

Chief Minister said, “We ordered police to identify the culprits, whoever they are. They will be tried in a fast-track court, and we will demand the death penalty for them. Police will be in constant touch with the family.”

Sanjay Roy got arrested by the police as he has connection with the case. He was an outsider and had access to many of the departments of the hospital cause of his role as civic volunteer in the police welfare board.
