Viral video shows Trinamool Councillor, wife allegedly assaulting on-duty doctor
Kolkata: A viral video allegedly shows a Trinamool Congress Councillor and his wife physically assaulting an on-duty doctor inside his chamber in Egra in the East Midnapore district of West Bengal on Tuesday.
West Bengal Leader of the Opposition (LoP) and veteran Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader, Suvendu Adhikari, had shared the video on his official X account on Tuesday afternoon and claimed that the video proved that not a single medical practitioner in West Bengal is safe under the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress government, news agency IANS reported.
The BJP leader also referred to the horrific rape and murder of a junior doctor at the state-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata within the hospital premises in August 2024.
“No doctor in West Bengal is safe under the current Trinamool Congress regime. Be it the case of the sister of R.G. Kar, or that of any doctor in a state-run hospital or any doctor providing private medical services to people in the state, none of them are safe in West Bengal under the current regime,” LoP Adhikari said.
According to the BJP leader, the doctor is being assaulted, and the persons seen as thrashing him is the Trinamool Congress Councilor from Ward No. 8 of Egra Municipality, Debodurlabh Maity alias Bacchu, and his wife.
According to LoP Adhikari, the place of occurrence was the doctor's chamber near Egra Central Bus Stand, and the incident took place on Monday.
“The video was recorded yesterday, near Agar Central Bus Stand, when the doctor was attending to his patients in his chamber. Suddenly, the Trinamool Congress Councillor of Ward No. 8 of Egra Municipality, Debodurlabh Maity alias Bacchu, and his wife, entered the chamber and started creating a ruckus. The doctor was also physically assaulted,” BJP leader Adhikari claimed, reports IANS.
He also said that the incident proved the pathetic state of affairs and the law and order situation in the state, where the police administration had completely turned into sycophants for the ruling Trinamool Congress.
“If one is a Trinamool leader, they can do whatever they want because here it is not the rule of law, but the law of the rulers that prevails. This situation needs immediate change, which is why the people of the state need a BJP government in West Bengal,” the LoP added.
