What did Kunal Ghosh say on the court’s comment?
Regarding the rope being tied around the waist of the arrested person, Kunal Ghosh, Trinamool MLA from Beleghata, said, “We have been saying again and again that if someone has committed a crime, he will be prosecuted under the law of the country. Instead, no one knows what his crime was, someone put a mark on someone, then attacked them, tortured them, removed their clothes and tied a rope around their waist. This involves political revenge and a show of coercion.” But, these have nothing to do with what crime the person has actually committed, and if he is guilty, what punishment he should receive under the law of the country.”
