Kolkata, August 19, 2024 — In a dramatic turn of events, a B.Com student has been arrested for threatening violence against West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee amid nationwide outrage over the rape and murder of a trainee doctor in Kolkata. Keerthi Sharma, the student in question, posted on Instagram suggesting that Banerjee should meet the same fate as former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, who was assassinated in 1984. Alongside this threat, Sharma shared disturbing images of the murdered doctor. The posts prompted a complaint from Trinamool Congress leaders, leading to Sharma’s arrest by the Kolkata Police. He now faces multiple charges, including incitement to violence, murder, and revealing sensitive information about the rape victim. The arrest comes amid intense protests from doctors across the country and criticism directed at the state government’s handling of women’s security.
