TMC backs SC remarks on case, criticises CBI for presenting 'misleading' facts

The ruling TMC on Thursday welcomed the Supreme Court's remark not to politicise the rape-murder of a woman doctor in Kolkata and accused the CBI, which is currently probing the case, of presenting misleading facts.

The apex court instructed political parties not to politicise the rape-murder of the doctor at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, stating that "law will take its course." The court termed Kolkata Police's delay in registering the unnatural death of the doctor as "extremely disturbing" and instructed protesting medics to return to work.

"We don't want to comment on what the apex court has said as the matter is sub-judice. However, we welcome the Supreme Court's observation asking political parties not to politicise the matter and directing the protesting doctors to get back to work. Some political parties are trying to politicise the incident, and the CBI is attempting to mislead the public with distorted facts," TMC leader Kunal Ghosh said.

The TMC leader also said the state government will adhere to the court's instructions.

"Political parties that have been attempting to politicise the incident for their vested interests should now learn their lesson," he added.
