Eggs thrown at ex-TMC MLA Nirmal Ghosh after arrest over ‘hurried cremation’ in RG Kar case
Nirmal Ghosh was arrested over allegations that he used his influence to rush the cremation of the RG Kar rape-murder victim’s body against her family’s wishes.
Former Trinamool Congress MLA Nirmal Ghosh was arrested in connection with the hurried cremation of the RG Kar hospital rape-murder victim on Friday. Outside Khardah Police Station, a mob attacked him, throwing eggs and muck, despite heavy police presence. Ghosh was later taken to Barrackpore sub-divisional court, where stains of eggs and muck were visible on his white clothes.
The third accused, Somnath Dey, remains at large. TMC leaders have faced similar attacks recently, including Soumitra Banerjee and MLA Kunal Ghosh. The incident follows a complaint filed by the victim's father, who alleged that Ghosh facilitated the "hurried cremation" of his daughter's body against the family's wishes.
