CM Mamata said that this is a very painful incident, whoever is involved in this case should be punished immediately. We want that the hearing of this case should be done quickly, because then the judicial process will be faster. I am shocked that this incident happened despite the presence of nurses and security personnel in the hospital.
He further said, “I have told the police that the victim’s parents have also said that someone from inside is involved in this, we have removed the Principal, Head of Department, Medical Superintendent cum Vice-Principal (MSVP) and ASP from this hospital.”
Describing the incident as “extremely painful” and “shocking”, Banerjee said the victim’s parents have alleged that an insider was also involved in the crime.
