Taking to X, BJP MLA Agnimitra Paul said, “In a shocking incident at Howrah Hospital, staff members were caught red-handed attempting to commit a heinous act with a minor girl patient in the CT scan room. This appalling incident reflects the dire state of women’s safety in hospitals across West Bengal. When even hospitals aren’t safe, where can our daughters, mothers, and sisters find security? Mamata Banerjee’s government has failed to protect women at every level. It’s time for a change.”
