While accusing the negligence of the West Bengal government in RG Kar Medical College and Hospital rape-murder case, Irani stated, "Rapists are carefree but the protestors are being attacked by a mob. How is it possible that a group of hooligans are in the state and the police do not know about it? How is it possible that they enter and vandalise the hospital and media reports say that they vandalise those that could be part of the evidence?...The question is will the girl get justice or not?"

Smriti Irani said that police officers and the CM of Bengal want to ensure that investigations are not completed in totality.  "Why is she in a hurry knowing that these questions are still unanswered?..."

"Rapists are carefree but the protestors are being attacked by a mob. How is it possible that a group of hooligans are in the state and the police do not know about it? How is it possible that they enter and vandalise the hospital and media reports say that they vandalise those that could be part of the evidence?...The question is will the girl get justice or not?," she added.

Smriti Irani said that the dead body of that woman was bleeding. She had been stabbed in the chest, stomach and legs. The nails of both hands were found broken, certainly, when she was being raped, that woman was struggling with atrocities.

The whole country stands united with every citizen of Bengal who is looking for justice. A girl is raped in her own hospital. There are many questions, the public is waiting for answers. The family has not asked for money but justice. Getting justice for the family will be the biggest tribute.
