BJP national spokesperson Amit Malviya has cited a letter dated August 10 allegedly signed by Dr Sandip Ghosh, former principal of RG Kar Hospital, which appears to show the hospital's attempt to cover up the crime scene of a trainee doctor's rape and murder.

Malviya claimed that the letter proves the West Bengal government and the hospital lied about when renovations began near the crime scene. He demanded Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's resignation and a fair investigation.

In a post on X, Malviya stated, "This is explosive. Yet another piece of evidence, which establishes that Dr Sandip Ghosh, now arrested, disgraced former principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, ordered repair/renovation of toilet, near the seminar room (scene of crime) on 10th Aug, a day after the young lady doctor was brutally raped and murdered (she was killed on the intervening night of August 8th/9th)."

"It means the claim of renovation starting prior to the date of crime was an OUTRIGHT LIE. The WB Govt and the hospital LIED. Kolkata Police even filed complaints against those, who shared the video of the broken wall," he added.

Malviya further targeted Mamata Banerjee, the hospital administration and the Kolkata Police and alleged that three of them "colluded" to destroy all evidence and "sanitised" the scene of crime.

"This is evil and raises further questions on their motives," he said.

Malviya retierated the demand for the Chief Minister's resgination and alleged that "much of the evidence" has already been destroyed.

"I repeat: Unless Mamata Banerjee and Vineet Goyal, Commissioner of Kolkata Police, step down, free and fair probe is not possible. Much of the evidence has already been destroyed. Call records of the CM and Kolkata CP, for 72 hours after the crime, should be put in the public domain. Their conversations investigated," Malviya said.
