Kolkata: Communist Party of India (Marxist) youth wing leader Meenakhi Mukherjee on Thursday appeared before a CBI investigation team at the agency’s city office in connection with the murder of a doctor and the subsequent vandalism at the RG Kar Hospital, sources said.
In a related development, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) summoned a Trinamool Congress MLA Sudipto Roy who was earlier the head of the patient welfare committee in the Hospital.
Democratic Youth Federation of India’s top leader Mukherjee, before entering Central Bureau of Investigation’s CGO Complex at Salt Lake, told reporters that they wanted justice for RG Kar Hospital victim.
“We want punishment for the culprits of the killers of the lady medic and seek quick justice and for this I am here at the CBI office,” said the Leftist leader, who has remained on the forefront of the movement seeking justice for the murdered doctor.
Mukherjee, along with her followers, was seen protesting on August 9 in front of R G Kar Hospital while police were taking away the body of the medic.
Meanwhile, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday summoned Trinamool Congress MLA Dr Sudipto Roy, whose houses and nursing home and other property were searched by both ED and CBI last week. The ED had also seized his mobile and other digital equipment during the raid.
Roy, chairman of the now-dissolved Rogi Kalyan Samiti in the RG Kar Hospital, is the MLA from Serampore in Hooghly.
The ED is probing the money trails of the alleged financial irregularities in RG Kar Hospital during the tenure of arrested former hospital chief Sandip Ghosh. Ghosh has been arrested both in the murder case and monetary scam.
