Bikashranjan Bhattacharya, the lawyer who represent the family of the trainee doctor who was raped and murdered at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata, accused fraudsters of deceiving the victim’s family.
He claimed in a Facebook post dated August 20th, ‘Upon arriving at Delhi airport, I was informed that a group of fraudsters, posing as doctors, had approached the victim’s father. They forged my signature to file a petition with the Supreme Court’.
The senior advocate labelled them as bhakts and added, ‘I firmly believe that they were supporters of Mamata Banerjee. The individuals who attempted to misuse my name must be located and interrogated. They could potentially reveal a significant amount of confidential information.
Previously, Bikashranjan Bhattacharya criticized the West Bengal Chief Minister for offering financial compensation to the victim’s family.
Bhattacharya said, ‘The Chief Minister’s approach in West Bengal is highly reprehensible. Whenever a rape occurs, she quickly contacts the victim’s family, offers them money, and then claims the matter is resolved. It seems she has set up rate cards for rape victims. While the law does provide for compensation, it should be addressed only after the investigation is complete. Her attempts to influence witnesses, as seen in this case, were rejected by the victim’s parent, who did not wish to be part of her tactics’.
