Asha Devi, the mother of Nirbhaya, has called for West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's resignation, accusing her of having "failed to handle the situation" surrounding the recent rape-murder of a trainee doctor at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College. Speaking to PTI, Asha Devi criticized Banerjee for allegedly "diverting public attention" through protests instead of taking action against the culprits. The incident has drawn parallels to the 2012 Nirbhaya case, sparking nationwide outrage. Asha Devi emphasized that such crimes will "continue to happen" until governments ensure "swift punishment" for rapists.
