KOLKATA: Cops did not see any “(political) colour” while acting in the Hanskhali murder-rape and arresting the accused, Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee asserted on Monday, questioning why the Trinamool Congress as a party was being blamed for a crime committed by one party worker’s son.
“Action has been taken. Arrests have happened,” Banerjee said, raising some questions on the sequence of events that followed the crime. “When did she (the girl) die? April 5. When did the police learn (about it)? April 10. Why was the complaint not lodged on April 5 if someone died on April 5 and there was suspicion (of wrongdoing)?” she asked in her first reaction to the Hanskhali case.
