  "account": "The father of the victim of the recent rape and murder case is demanding accountability from the CBI after former RG Kar Medical College and Hospital principal Sandip Ghosh was granted bail by the Supreme Court. Ghosh was arrested during protests over the incident on August 9, 2024. The father questioned the CBI's credibility, stating that if the agency entrusted by 147 crore Indians has shortcomings, how can people trust it. The mother of the victim, Ratna Debnath, now serves as a BJP MLA. Dr Utpal Bandyopadhyay, a doctor involved in the movement for justice, called for a public explanation from the CBI regarding the case's delay. Another prominent activist, Dr Aniket Mahato, expressed deep distress over the bail order, accusing the CBI of incompetence and prolonged proceedings that have undermined the case.",
