Sanchita Chatterjee, BS News Agency: Written Complaint Filed at Police Station Alleging Disclosure of RG Kar Victim's Identity. Trinamool Congress MP Rachna Banerjee now finds herself entangled in a legal predicament. A written complaint has been lodged against her at the Charu Market Police Station. During the protests surrounding the RG Kar incident, she had repeatedly mentioned the name of the deceased young doctor at the hospital across various social media platforms. Citing this specific allegation, a lawyer has filed a formal complaint against Rachna at the police station. A police officer from the Charu Market Police Station, who wished to remain anonymous, stated that the complainant submitted the written complaint directly to the station's Officer-in-Charge, Sushanta Kundu. Rachna has issued a statement regarding this matter. She said, "At that time, everyone was deeply distressed by the traumatic turn of events. I, too, became overwhelmed with emotion while protesting against that horrific incident. Consequently, I inadvertently mentioned her name—something I should not have done." She further noted that in the video currently being discussed, it is clearly visible that she had broken down in tears. She added that she simply could not come to terms with the fact that a young doctor's life had been cut short in such a manner. However, Rachna stated that she would no longer speak on this issue; her lawyer would handle all further communication. Why is the complainant pursuing police action regarding the RG Kar incident, which occurred two years ago? According to sources, the complainant had actually attempted to lodge a complaint against Rachna Banerjee at the very time the incident occurred. However, no action was taken against Rachna at that time.

Incidentally, in the written complaint, the complainant has alleged that the accused—the celebrity MP—shared a video message in which she mentioned the name of the young doctor who was raped and murdered at the RG Kar Hospital. It is alleged that she mentioned the victim's name multiple times in that video—an act that is strictly prohibited by law.
