The father of a victim associated with RG Kar, a controversial figure in West Bengal politics, recently told reporters that he trusts former Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari more than the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to bring justice.
The statement was made after the CBI was assigned to probe the incident that left the victim’s family in distress. The father highlighted perceived delays and shortcomings in the central agency’s work, insisting that a local political leader would be better positioned to address the case.
He said, "We have faith in Suvendu Adhikari’s commitment to justice, and we believe he will act faster than the CBI."
The incident, which occurred in the city of Howrah, has sparked a debate over the role of central versus local authorities in handling high‑profile crimes in West Bengal.
Law enforcement officials have reiterated that the CBI investigation is ongoing and that they are committed to a thorough inquiry.
