‘Arrest Mamata Banerjee...’: BJP MP Writes To ED Urging Deeper Probe In RG Kar 'Irregularities'

BJP leader Jyotirmay Singh Mahato on Sunday wrote to the Enforcement Directorate (ED), calling for the arrest of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in connection with the RG Kar case. Mahato urged the ED to conduct a thorough investigation into the matter, labeling the incident as horrific.

The BJP leader asserted that the RG Kar case highlights a broader "systemic issue" within West Bengal's health sector. “It is important to recognize that this is not just about Sandip Ghosh,” the BJP leader noted adding that this reflects deeper issues within the state's healthcare system.

Mahato supported his allegations by noting that inquiries into who shielded Ghosh and facilitated his career, despite serious charges, suggest the likely involvement of high-ranking political figures.

He shared a post on ‘X’, saying, "I’ve written to the Director of  @dir_ed, requesting a thorough investigation and the arrest of  @MamataOfficial Mamata Banerjee over the R.G. Kar and Sandip Ghosh health scam. Evidence points to widespread corruption and misuse of power in West Bengal’s health sector. The people deserve justice! #JusticeForRGKar #MamataResign."

"I am writing to draw your attention to another deeply troubling case that deserves an equally thorough investigation-the financial irregularities and corruption linked to Dr. Sandip Ghosh, the former principal of R.G. Kar Medical College. This case, which is already under investigation by the ED and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), has uncovered shocking details about how state resources have been siphoned off under his tenure, as well as the cover-up of a brutal rape and murder of a trainee doctor at the same institution," the letter addressed to the director of Enforcement Directorate read.

Earlier today, TMC MP Jawhar Sircar resigned from both the party and politics, citing the Bengal government's negligence in the Kolkata horror case as his reason. In an open letter addressed to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Sircar criticized her administration and called for justice for the victim, Abhaya.
