Opposition Left Front today accused police administration of "deliberately going slow" on the two accused who were acquitted by a local court yesterday in the Kamduni gangrape and murder case.
"The police deliberately went slow on the two accused as they were affiliated to the ruling party (Trinamool Congress). The police had prepared the case in such a way that both of them got acquitted," West Bengal Left Front Chairman Biman Bose said.
"What took so long for police to book those criminals? If the police had acted impartially then the two who were acquitted could have also been booked. If the two had not committed any crime, then why were they at all arrested and why were they in custody for so long ?" Bose pointed out.
Six persons were convicted by a local court yesterday in the Kamduni case in which a 21-year-old college girl was brutally assaulted and murdered in June 2013, triggering outrage.
Two persons were, however, acquitted owing to lack of evidence against them.
