BJP leader Shazia Ilmi has expressed strong support for the Calcutta High Court's decision to order a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the rape and murder incident at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. The case, which has shocked the nation, involves the brutal assault and death of a young girl within the premises of the hospital.

In a statement issued today, Ilmi described the incident as "grotesque" and raised critical questions about the events leading up to and following the crime. She emphasized the need for a thorough investigation, citing concerns over possible protection for individuals involved.

"This was much needed and we welcome this decision," Ilmi said. "It is grotesque, what's happened. I don't know who is getting protection here and why. Sanjoy Roy, why was this person there in the first place? How come he has unfettered access to all the departments? How can a young girl get mutilated, humiliated, raped, and murdered? How come the CCTV cameras were not working?"

Ilmi's remarks pointed to several alarming aspects of the case, including the malfunctioning of CCTV cameras and the circumstances surrounding the accused, Sanjoy Roy. She criticized the apparent lapses in security and oversight at the hospital, questioning how such a heinous act could have occurred under the current circumstances.

The BJP leader also called for resignations from West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and the state's Health Minister, asserting that they should be held accountable for the lapses in the investigation and administration.

"It is extremely shameful and I am glad that the CBI will look into this," Ilmi added. "Mamata Banerjee and the health minister should have resigned. At whose behest was this man being encouraged? Who are they trying to protect? It is very obvious that such a grotesque act could not have happened within 30-35 minutes, which is clearly demonstrated by the entry and exit of this person."

The CBI's involvement marks a critical juncture in the investigation, as authorities aim to unravel the circumstances surrounding the crime and ensure justice for the victim. The probe will focus on the alleged failures in security protocols and administrative oversight that allowed such a tragic event to unfold.

As the investigation progresses, the public remains eager for answers and accountability in what has become one of the most disturbing cases in recent memory.
