Trinamool Congress General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee on Wednesday called for the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to be held accountable for ensuring justice in the rape and murder of a junior doctor at RG Kar Medical College & Hospital.
In a statement on X, Banerjee criticized the CBI’s track record, noting that they had failed to complete a single investigation in the past decade. “Justice delayed is justice denied,” he asserted.
“The CBI’s record speaks for itself: Over the last ten years, they have not completed a single investigation they have undertaken. JUSTICE DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED,” Abhishek Banerjee’s statement read.

“Additionally, the government has honoured their demands for transferring certain top officials in the Health Department and Kolkata Police, as confirmed by HCM the day before in her media address,” his statement added.
While acknowledging the progress made, Banerjee urged the protesting doctors to return to their duties as a gesture of goodwill. He emphasized that the CBI’s accountability is crucial for ensuring that the perpetrators of this heinous crime are brought to justice.
