“Carried out in very coordinated manner…”: BJP MP Manoj Tiwari on Kolkata doctor rape-murder case

New Delhi [India], August 21 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party MP, Manoj Tiwari on Wednesday alleged that the sexual assault and murder of a female doctor in West Bengal’s Hospital was carried out in a very coordinated manner as some had tried to erase the evidence of the incident that happened on August 9.

Tiwari also appealed to the protesting doctors to return to their work.

He said, “There is no doubt that in society, every person and artist living is extremely sad it cannot be expressed in words. I will request all the doctors that whoever is on strike should return to work. The culprit will be identified because there is not just one culprit in this but it is a whole gang.”

“This incident has been carried out in a very coordinated manner. Its strings go very far; the way some people have tried to erase the evidence of this incident. A crowd of about 6000 to 7000 entered the hospital and tried to break and destroy the hospital and the evidence. The hospital chief tried to term the incident as a suicide and his supporters attacked the hospital. This is not a normal incident. The accused in the murder and rape of the female doctor working at RG Kar will be found out. It is our prayer that no one should be spared. But we also pray that the doctor should come to his work,” the BJP MP said.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday constituted a 10-member National Task Force to make recommendations on the prevention of violence and safe working conditions for medical professionals. The task force includes Surgeon Vice Admiral Arti Sarin, among others.

Days after the rape and murder of a junior doctor in Kolkata sparked nationwide protests, the apex court suo motu took up the case and directed the task force to submit an interim report within three weeks and a final report within two months.

The top court also asked the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to file a status report on the status of the investigation in the rape case. The court asked the West Bengal government to file a status report on the mob attack incident in the RG Kar hospital on August 15.

On August 9, a postgraduate trainee doctor was allegedly raped and murdered while on duty at RG Kar Medical College in Kolkata, sparking nationwide strikes and protests by the medical community.

Further, speaking over the alleged sexual assault of two minor girls in Maharashtra’s Badlapur, Manoj Tiwari said that no one will be spared in the case as the government has visited the spot.

“The Chief Minister of the government have gone to the spot and no one will be spared in this. All these incidents are disturbing. There is an NDA coalition government in Maharashtra, so I want to assure you that the culprit cannot escape, whoever has done this will get the harshest punishment,” Manoj Tiwari said.
