State Minister and Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Udayan Guha has openly threatened protesters, declaring that those who abuse Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on social media while demanding her resignation over the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital rape-murder case will have their fingers broken.
His threat was captured in a video clip that has gone viral, reported news agency PTI, citing that the authenticity of the video could not be verified.
“People who are attacking Mamata Banerjee, pointing fingers at her, and demanding her resignation will never succeed. Those pointing fingers at the CM will be broken and crushed,” Guha said at an event on Sunday.
“Despite provocations, the police did not baton charge when RG Kar hospital was vandalised,” Guha added.
Guha also compared the protests in Kolkata over the incident to the unrest in Bangladesh that led to Sheikh Hasina's ouster.
“We will never allow West Bengal to turn into another Bangladesh,” TMC leader said.
On August 9, the deceased, a postgraduate trainee in the chest medicine department, was found dead in the seminar hall of the hospital's Emergency building. Her family had alleged that she was raped and murdered. Kolkata has witnessed significant backlash and protests since the incident.
