Bengal Govt Suspends 3 IPS Officers over ‘Lapses’ RG Kar Rape-Murder Case Probe: 'Offered Money to Victim's Parents'
Chief Minister Adhikari suspends three IPS officers for alleged mishandling and lapses in the RG Kar rape-murder case, citing bribery and unauthorized briefings.
- On Friday, West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari announced the suspension of three IPS officers—Kolkata Police Commissioner Vineet Goyal, Abhishek Gupta, and Indira Mukherjee—over alleged mishandling of the 2024 RG Kar Medical College rape-murder case.
- At the State Secretariat in Nabanna, Adhikari alleged the officers offered bribes to the victim's family and conducted press conferences without written orders regarding the August 9, 2024 incident.
- Kolkata Police arrested Sanjay Roy, a 33-year-old civic volunteer, following the incident; a trial court sentenced Roy to life imprisonment in January 2025 after conviction, with the case later transferred to the CBI.
- The victim's family alleged multiple individuals were involved, citing forensic expert opinions presented to the Calcutta High Court in April, while the victim's mother won the Panihati seat for the BJP in the recently concluded Bengal elections.
- Dispensing justice for the victim remained a central promise for the BJP in Bengal before the assembly polls, though the family claims the CBI and Police inadequately examined evidence regarding multiple suspects.
