‘More than one person is involved’: CPI (M)’s Md Salim after accused Sanjay Roy found guilty in RG Kar case

KOLKATA(West Bengal): After Sealdah Court pronounced Sanjay Roy guilty in the RG Kar rape and murder case, Communist Party of India (Marxist) West Bengal State Secretary Md Salim alleged that more than one person is involved in the case and Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) didn’t move the case forward.

Alleging further, Salim said that central agencies are just repeating what Mamata Banerjee was saying. The CPI(M) leader stated that this is a long fight and people won’t stop until justice is served to the parents of the victim.

Speaking to ANI on Sunday, Md Salim said, “Everyone knows that this case does not involve just one person. Mamata Banerjee had said on the first day itself that Sanjay Roy should be shot dead in an encounter, then what was the need for all this drama? Millions of women across the country came out on the streets demanding justice. Sealdah court has not delivered justice because CBI didn’t move forward…. These central agencies officials are just repeating what Mamata Banerjee is saying…. People won’t stop. This is a long fight… We have to provide justice to the parents of the victim.”
