West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee has written to PM Narendra Modi, calling for tougher anti-rape legislation following public outrage over the rape and murder of a trainee doctor in Kolkata. The Mamata-led government has faced backlash for its handling of the case and the subsequent vandalism at RG Kar Hospital. Banerjee accused opposition parties of attempting to disrupt the investigation. The Supreme Court has criticized the state government for not controlling the vandalism, and the Calcutta High Court has handed over the investigation to the CBI.
