Mamata Banerjee Cites Unnao, Hathras, In Statement On Kolkata Rape | Read
Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee - whose government is under fire over the rape and murder of a doctor at Kolkata's RG Kar Hospital - launched a fierce defence of the state's police force Tuesday, pointing to unsolved but equally horrific instances of assault on women in other states.
She referred to the rape of a 20-year-old Dalit woman in Uttar Pradesh's Hathras in 2020 and the rape and barbaric slaughter of a college student in Bengal's North 24 Parganas district in 2013, as well as the rape of a child last week at a government-run hospital in Rajasthan's Jaipur.
