Earlier, Kejriwal was arrested in connection with an alleged excise duty scam. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested him from his residence on March 21. Shortly after his arrest, the Delhi High Court rejected his plea for interim protection, which ruled out immediate relief for him.

Following his arrest, on July 12, the Supreme Court granted him interim bail in the money laundering case. The Supreme Court directed a larger bench to examine three crucial questions regarding the necessity of Kejriwal’s arrest. This bench will address these questions to determine if his arrest is warranted.

Although the Supreme Court granted interim bail in the money laundering case, Kejriwal remains in judicial custody due to the ongoing CBI case. The CBI has charged him with corruption, and the investigation is still ongoing.

During the next hearing on August 27, the court will review the supplementary chargesheet filed by the CBI, which will determine the future course of action in the case. Meanwhile, the extension of Kejriwal’s judicial custody indicates that further investigation and legal proceedings are needed. The proceedings in this case could have significant political and social implications, as it involves a major political party and its leader. Therefore, all eyes are on the upcoming court hearing in this case.

In the early days of 1993, West Bengal was under the Left Front government led by Jyoti Basu. During that time, a physically disabled girl was raped in Nadia district. The incident caused an uproar in the state, and attacks on Jyoti Basu’s government began. Mamata Banerjee, who was an emerging leader at the time, brought the victim to the West Bengal government secretariat, the Writers’ Building. Mamata accused the government of not arresting the culprits due to their political connections and demanded a meeting with the then-Chief Minister Jyoti Basu. When her demand was not met, she began a sit-in protest in front of the CM’s chamber.

When Jyoti Basu refused to meet Mamata Banerjee, the police forcibly removed her and the victim from the secretariat. Female police officers dragged Mamata down the stairs, tearing her clothes in the process. After this incident, Mamata vowed that she would only set foot in that building again when she became the Chief Minister. After 18 years of struggle, Mamata entered the building as Chief Minister on May 20, 2011, shaking the foundations of Left rule in West Bengal. Mamata Banerjee continued her protests and demonstrations against the Left Front government for 18 years. Her struggle shook the foundation of Leftist rule and eventually brought her to power. It is said that former Chief Minister Jyoti Basu was so upset with Mamata’s politics that he never publicly mentioned her name, always referring to her as “that woman.”

Mamata Banerjee’s political career has been filled with struggles and controversies. The recent rape-murder case of a doctor at Kolkata’s RG Kar Hospital has once again put Mamata under scrutiny. But this is not the first time Mamata Banerjee’s role in rape cases has been questioned. There was an incident in Hanskhali, where Mamata dismissed the rape case as an “affair.” Similarly, when people protested against a rape in Kamudini, she labeled them as CPI(M) supporters. Mamata Banerjee’s controversial statements on rape cases during her tenure have often made headlines, especially when the allegations involved members of her party. Throughout her years in power, Mamata has often labeled rape cases as “false.” When asked to respond to rape cases as a woman leader, she presents herself as a victim. If the opposition questions her, Mamata does not hesitate to turn the tables and accuse them instead.

The rape-murder case of a trainee doctor in Kolkata has once again put Mamata Banerjee’s leadership under the spotlight. The role of her government and the statements she has made regarding rape cases remain fresh in people’s memories. The people of West Bengal, who have witnessed Mamata Banerjee’s struggle and courage, are now asking her why her approach to heinous crimes like rape is so passive. The question on everyone’s mind is whether Mamata Banerjee will show the same courage today as she did in 1993.

So far, CCTV footage shows that the arrested accused, Sanjay Rai, visited the hospital around 11:00 PM on Thursday. Rai stayed at the hospital for approximately 30 minutes, and his activities were clearly recorded. He returned to the hospital between 3:45 and 3:50 AM, entered the seminar hall, stayed there for about 35 minutes, and then left.

According to sources, the victim and her friends ordered food around midnight through an online app. Kolkata police have also recorded statements from the delivery boy. The postmortem report indicates that the victim died approximately four hours after eating the food. The CBI has also recorded statements from the four doctors who ordered and ate the food with the victim that night. The CBI team is also recording statements from all individuals directly connected to the victim who met her before the incident. Meanwhile, the CBI is analyzing the details of Sanjay Rai’s mobile phone and its location data. This information might help understand the events that occurred that night.

The investigation has also revealed that CCTV footage clearly shows Sanjay Rai’s activities within the hospital. The CBI is considering this crucial evidence as it continues its investigation and searches for other potential clues. The thorough investigation by the CBI is expected to help resolve the complexities of the case and ensure that the culprits are brought to justice.
