place of occurrence upstairs which on
the that is untouched in totally
protected but one thing uh normally even
if 100 people gather there is always an
intelligence ring with the
police intelligence ring with the police
in fact came across the same issue
during Hanuman
jti because people
I mean through bricks from the third
floor so therefore the court commented
on saying that unless it was a pre-plan
the bricks could not have been lifted to
the third floor and there should have
been movement of
vehicles and there was a serious failure
on the intelligence of the state
police if 7,000 people are to
gather do you uh it is very hard to
believe that the state police
intelligence did not no there was
supposed to be there was supposed to be
a demonstration outside but that but why
did you grant permission out no
permission is taken they just give
intimation no one takes perion for all
andary reasons you pass a 144 order when
there is so much of commotions going on

this honorable Court directed handing
over the investigation to the
CBI around
6:00 that I information received I had
to rush to the RG also
that they are destroying demolishing the
place of ORD that was the
complaint but I rushed I had also called
up an advocate for the CBI that since
the investigation is not under your
control it's your
duty now when I reach this
spot
yes when I reach this spot I found not
the doctors agitator students they had
not become so much AG that ating then
the demolition work was stopped but a
portion of it was demolished
admittedly after the order of the
honorable High Court no no not a correct
submission Mr let me n the incident if I
wrong you correct me I have no quarr
with that then at the date of night when
there was a
demonstration some sort of spontaneous
demonstration pan India
the women who Gathering they say the
night is
ours at the 4:00 or 5:00 The Honorable
chief minister delivered a fiery speech
not only targeting the lawyers I forget
about that and said you have
demonstrated for three four days now I
will start
demonstration instru
the and at the date of
night holigans 4050 holigans maybe 708
not 7,000 not
7,000 they suddenly attacked the first
attacked the place of demonstration by
the doctors and students and youths they
demolished the entire samyana their
stage everything demolished then they
entered into the hospital police were
there police Outpost was there police
Outpost was vandalized I'm I feel sorry
to say the Kolkata police was so
helpless they got themselves
hide
behind the demonstrators so that the
attack on the demonstrators be there
demonstrators would save
themselves and they vandalized the
emergency World they went up to the
third floor was the instruction part ST
means BL the fourth story according to
us fourth story is the place of
occurrence Unfortunately they misre then
third floor they arrive and demonstrate
and demolished a part of it thereafter
it appears the police commissioner
arrived
there when he was there on spot still
this
hungama went on uninterrupted and the
police Comm says it's on record that I
we had information that this might
happen but what can I do there are
demonstration throughout the city and I
suffer from lack of logistical support
but this is on record video statement of
the commissioner of
police but what is
happening government hospital emergency
W is demolished to the
ground police Outpost demolish to the
ground
ENT but was it not the
plan was it not the Mard if I may use
that expression Mard the instigation by
highest Authority
give them the bad name and kill them no
no the second portion of your submission
we can't I I I just faing on the first
probably Prim it appears to be PR yes
otherwise from what Mr Beni says on
behalf of the state that 7,000 people if
they have gathered obviously it is
100% assuming that this is 15 people 15
people have gathered probably from
different angle they would have entered
the hospital
premises that is
understandable 7,000 is not the mystery
we never said that saying that Mo the
demonstration SW to 7,000 out of which
as Mr manag what are they demonstrating
for in fact the rapid action force
should have prevented them from at least
1 kilometer was at that site where the
rally was being taken care of DFI was
putting up that
they have the responsib responsibility
to differentiate between the mob as well
as the persons doctors who are
agitating with your kind only make let
CBI also take up the investigation so
far the vandalism is concerned this is a
part
of farther I have made a prayer before
your lordship for deployment of central
paramilitary forces because the
situation is as such it goes on record
that the commissioner says that even
after there was information he was
helpless so considering the failure of
the state Machinery the important
essence of it is that CBI has taken up
the investigation there is a crime scene
in the rgar hospital the police has
spiled to protect that in view of some
circumstances I humbly Bing I've also
addressed a letter email with such p m
and considering the fact that Mr bachar
