WB Guv seeks report from Mamata on charges made by RG Kar accused
After the key accused in the RG Kar rape and murder case, Sanjay Roy, accused former Kolkata Police Commissioner Vineet Goyal of framing him, West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose sought a report from the state government on its stand against the allegations.
A Bengal Raj Bhavan statement tonight said: “In the light of disturbing news on 12.11.2024 in connection with the RG Kar alleged rape and murder case, where the key accused Sanjay Roy, after the proceedings in the Sealdah Court has reportedly alleged that he was framed by senior police officers, including former Kolkata police commissioner Vineet Goyal, Bengal governor has urged the State Government to look into the matter and inform him the factual position and the State Government’s stand on the allegations at the earliest.”
The statement by Bose’s Officer on Special Duty said the governor has sought an immediate response from chief minister Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress government.
Roy, while deposing before the Sealdah Court as trial in the case commenced, said he was not allowed by the cops to “say anything” and was framed by Goyal and other police officers. Roy is the prime accused in the three-month old rape and murder case that triggered mass protests across Bengal.
