The recent bail granted to two key suspects in the RG Kar hospital doctor's murder case has stirred a political storm in West Bengal. The ruling TMC has criticized the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for failing to produce a charge sheet in time, while the BJP accuses the state government of hampering the investigation.

The Sealdah court set ex-principal Sandip Ghosh and ex-officer Abhijit Mondal free after the CBI's procedural misstep. While TMC leader Kunal Ghosh blamed the CBI for not proving charges against the accused, BJP's Locket Chatterjee pointed to a lack of state cooperation as the root of the delay.

As political blame games ensue, protests continue across West Bengal, reflecting public disappointment with both the investigative and political establishments in dealing with the crime. The victims' families remain disheartened by what they perceive as justice delayed and disregarded.
