Kolkata Rape-Murder Case: West Bengal Governor Calls Emergency Meeting

West Bengal Governor calls emergency meeting amid outcry over Kolkata medical college rape-murder case.

West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose on Sunday night (August 19) said that he had "called an emergency meeting of a cross-section of Bengal society' in order to keep them updated about the action being taken in the rape-murder case from RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata. The media cell of West Bengal's Raj Bhawan made a post about this from its official handle on X.

The post has come after Harbhajan Singh, a former Indian cricketer and now a member of Parliament of India, shared a letter and urged Governor Bose and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to take a swift and decisive action about the rape-murder case.

The governor referred to Harbhajan's letter and expressed his "solidarity with the civil society across India, who have voiced their deep concern over the ghastly incident and the apparent inaction of the government."
