I know their names. Those who committed the crime and concealed evidence are all criminals. They will be caught and punished,&#8221; Debnath told ANI.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"7\"\/>Her remarks come weeks after the Calcutta High Court directed the formation of a fresh Special Investigation Team (SIT), expressing dissatisfaction with the earlier probe into the case.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>Earlier, on June 27, the victim&#8217;s father, Shekhar Ranjan Debnath, had said recent developments in the Tamanna Khatun case had strengthened his belief that those responsible for his daughter&#8217;s death would also be brought to justice.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>He had said the High Court&#8217;s monitoring of the investigation had given the family renewed hope. He also criticised the functioning of the earlier SIT, alleging delays in taking over the investigation and claiming the family&#8217;s concerns were not adequately recorded.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>According to the victim&#8217;s father, the high court found the earlier investigation unsatisfactory and ordered the constitution of a fresh SIT, giving it one month to make progress.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>The RG Kar Medical College and Hospital case dates back to August 9, 2024, when the body of a 31-year-old postgraduate trainee doctor was found inside a seminar room on the hospital campus. The incident triggered nationwide protests by doctors, medical students and civil society groups, who demanded a transparent investigation and stronger safety measures for healthcare professionals.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>On May 21, the Calcutta high court directed the formation of a fresh SIT after expressing dissatisfaction with the earlier investigation. A Sealdah court had also observed that the probe had not made adequate progress.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/india\/i-know-their-names-rg-kar-victims-mother-mla-ratna-debnath-says-all-involved-will-be-caught-and-punished\/articleshow\/132128165.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ratna Debnath says all behind RG Kar crime and cover-up will face justice NEW DELHI: BJP MLA Ratna Debnath, the mother of the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital rape and murder victim, on Wednesday said she knows the identities of those involved in her daughter&#8217;s killing and the alleged cover-up, asserting that everyone responsible [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":29671,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[133],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29670","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-country"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29670","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29670"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29670\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29671"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29670"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29670"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29670"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
