BJP Leader Suvendu Adhikari's Statement
BJP leader and Leader of the Opposition in the Bengal Assembly, Suvendu Adhikari, raised concerns about the case.
The West Bengal LoP said, "In my constituency, Nandigram, a villager sent his daughter to Singur in Hooghly for a nursing job. The nursing home authority called her parents to say their daughter had committed suicide. She died. Our BJP workers and advocates protested against this matter. We demand that the postmortem be conducted in any central government hospital or by a central government doctor." "Police lathi-charged the protestors and brought the body to the Kolkata police Morgue for postmortem... We are demanding these things. As a local MLA, I will support and help the parents. Maybe they will go to the High Court on Monday," Adhikari further alleged.
Statement Of North Kolkata BJP President Tamoghna Ghosh
Meanwhile, North Kolkata BJP President Tamoghna Ghosh mentioned that the victim's parents want the postmortem conducted at a central government facility like AIIMS and plan to move court to ensure their demands are "respected".
Ghosh said, "The body of the deceased is currently being preserved at the Kolkata police morgue. The victim's parents, who have been in ongoing discussions with the authorities, are determined to seek justice. As the father is an active BJP worker, the family has expressed distrust toward the West Bengal state government and prefers that the postmortem be conducted at a central government facility, such as AIIMS or a similar hospital. They have communicated this request to the police and relevant authorities and intend to approach the court to ensure their demands are respected."
