The Calcutta High Court today transferred the investigation into the case to the Central Bureau of Investigation after denying a request by the Mamata Banerjee government to not hand it over to the central agency.
Speaking to reporters outside the upper house of the Parliament, Ms Ganguly accused the state government of protecting the perpetrators.
“People can’t speak in West Bengal. The government is protecting the murderers. There is no other state where the government kills people after winning elections. We are human beings. We don’t do stone-hearted politics,” she said on her breakdown in Rajya Sabha.
