Former TMC MLA Nirmal Ghosh arrested In Odisha Over RG Kar Doctor’s Hurried Cremation

Former Trinamool Congress MLA Nirmal Ghosh was arrested in Odisha on Thursday in connection with allegations surrounding the hurried cremation of a junior doctor who was raped and murdered at Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital two years ago. The arrest follows a directive issued two days earlier by West Bengal Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari, who questioned the circumstances surrounding the doctor’s cremation and called for a separate police investigation.

Adhikari raised concerns over the alleged haste of the cremation, the waiver of cremation fees, and the absence of signatures from the victim’s family members on related documents.
