'Arrests Made Today Are Very Important': Bengal BJP
On the arrest of former principal Sandip Ghosh and Tala Police Station in-charge Abhijit Mondal by CBI, Union Minister Sukanta Majumdar said: "The arrests made today are very important. Especially the arrest of the Station In-charge of Tala Police Station... He was arrested on charges of tampering with the rape and murder case. The people of West Bengal were demanding for a long time that he be arrested."
He also alleged that the Tala Police Station in-charge must have received instructions "from above" to tamper evidence.
The Bengal BJP President also demanded the resignation of Kolkata Police Commissioner Vineet Goyal. "My question is, can a small Station In-charge take such a decision? He must have received instructions from above... Naturally, the people at the top should be arrested... Vineet Goyal should resign right now or else the people of West Bengal will remove the Chief Minister from his post," Majumdar said.
