The Bengal BJP chief asserted that Sandip Ghosh’s recent bail does not imply his innocence in the murder case of former Trinamool leader R.G. Kar.
Kolkata, West Bengal – The state head of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) publicly stated that the court‑granted bail to party leader Sandip Ghosh should not be interpreted as a declaration of his innocence. The comment was made in the context of the ongoing investigation into the murder of former Trinamool Congress leader R.G. Kar.
Ghosh, who was arrested earlier in connection with the case, secured bail from a local court. While the legal process permits a suspect to remain free pending trial, the BJP chief emphasized that bail is a procedural right and does not equate to a finding of no guilt.
The party’s statement underscores its stance that the legal proceedings must continue without prejudice, and that the allegations against Ghosh remain serious. No further details about the case or the bail conditions were disclosed at the time of the remarks.
