TMC spokesperson Kunal Ghosh sent a legal notice to the father of the RG Kar rape and murder victim, after being accused of paying CBI to “settle” the case.
"Despite my sympathies and respect for the victim's father, I have sent him my lawyer’s notice. He should hopefully receive it by tomorrow or day after," Ghosh wrote on X.
Quoting the father’s statement to the media, Ghosh said, "He told the media: CBI has botched up the probe after taking money from the state government. The matter was settled by Kunal Ghosh at the CGO Complex. I can't allow him to say whatever he feels like saying under the provocation of others. He should either apologise for what he said, else come to court and prove his statement."
The Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader added that the father has four days from receiving the notice to act, failing which a suit will be filed, PTI reported.
"I have two CBI cases of my own which I am fighting, and you think I will go to 'settle' the RG Kar case with the agency? And will the CBI listen to me? Everyone knows that the BJP controls the CBI," Ghosh said.
The move comes two days after the victim’s father alleged that the CBI accepted money from Ghosh at its CGO Complex office in Salt Lake to drop the case.
So far, CBI, which is investigating the crime, has indicted one accused.
