Mamata govt trying to sabotage probe: CPM

New Delhi: The CPM has accused the Mamata Banerjee-led West Bengal government of trying to derail the investigation into the alleged rape and murder of a trainee post-graduate doctor at Kolkata’s RG Kar college and hospital. “The victim’s father saying he has no confidence in the Chief Minister or her government is something being echoed by everybody. It reflects the reality of the cover-up at every stage,” the CPM said. — PTI/TNS
