Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. Meanwhile. met the family of the murdered doctor at their residence in North 24 Parganas district and said: “I want the police to arrest the culprits. There are some insiders. If the police can’t solve the case by Sunday, then we will give it to the CBI. We have nothing to be bothered about. However, the rate of success in CBI investigations is very poor.”

“Nurses were there, the hospital’s own security personnel were also there. I fail to understand how this happened. The victim’s parents told me somebody from inside was involved. The police will talk to everyone,” said Banerjee.

“Kolkata Police is the best police force in the world. The best officer has been entrusted with the investigation,” Banerjee added.

Kolkata Police commissioner Vineet Goyal, who accompanied the Chief Minister, said they would question everyone who was present at the site of the crime.
