Veteran Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Sukhendu Sekhar Roy has demanded the CBI undertake custodial interrogation of Kolkata Police Commissioner Vineet Goyal and former principal of R G Kar Medical College Sandip Ghosh. The case involves the alleged rape and murder of a woman doctor at R G Kar Medical College. Roy's demands have sparked varied reactions from other political leaders.

Veteran Trinamool Congress MP Sukhendu Sekhar Roy on Sunday called for the CBI to conduct a custodial interrogation of Kolkata Police Commissioner Vineet Goyal and former principal of R G Kar Medical College, Sandip Ghosh, regarding the alleged rape and murder of a woman doctor.

'CBI must act fairly. Custodial interrogation of Ex Principal and Police Commissioner is a must to know who and why floated suicide story,' the TMC Rajya Sabha MP stated in a social media post. The parents of the victim were informed over the phone on August 9 that their daughter had died by suicide at the hospital, where she was employed.

Kolkata Police Commissioner Vineet Goyal has refuted claims that the police informed the parents of a suicide. Sandip Ghosh was interrogated by the CBI for long hours over the weekend. Roy questioned the timing of certain investigative actions and alleged a cover-up.

Roy's stance has garnered various reactions, with TMC leader Kunal Ghosh opposing the demands, stating that the police commissioner acted diligently. Meanwhile, Congress and CPI(M) leaders have commended Roy for his stand against the alleged cover-up.
