Earlier, Mamata Banerjee had publicly denied offering any money to the bereaved family, calling the allegations 'slander.' She maintained that she only offered support for any memorial the family wished to create in their daughter’s honor, but never directly proposed financial compensation.
"I have not offered money to the family. This is an attempt to defame me," the Chief Minister said. She added that Kolkata Police Commissioner Vineet Goyal had even offered to resign after protests at RG Kar Medical College but was asked to stay due to his expertise in handling law and order, especially with Durga Puja approaching.
The victim’s family, however, remains firm in their stance. The trainee doctor’s cousin also came forward, claiming that Mamata Banerjee personally made the offer. “The Chief Minister herself offered financial compensation. She denied it came from the police, but I stand by my words that she made the offer,” he affirmed.
