Woman and child development minister Shashi Panja on Saturday demanded an answer from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in connection with the alleged murder and sexual assault of a trainee doctor at R G Kar Medical College and Hospital on 9 August in Kolkata and said “fake narratives” regarding the incident are being spread.
“We need a solution, CBI must answer. A hearing is going on in the Supreme Court, and the CBI is investigating. Fake narratives regarding this incident are being spread. Why is this media trial happening…if you know something, give the evidence to CBI, but through social media and in the name of bandh, this hooliganism is going on. Our fight is against this,” Shashi Panja said on Saturday.
