"CBI must act fairly. Custodial interrogation of ex-Principal and Police Commissioner is a must to know who and why floated suicide story. Why wall of hall demolished, who patronised Roy to be so powerful. Why sniffer dog used after 3 days. 100 of such questions. Make them speak," Ray said in the post.

Kolkata Police Reaction

Reacting to Ray's post on social media, Kolkata Police said that the Rajya Sabha MP had tweeted "wrong information" about the sniffer dogs being deployed at the crime scene after three days.

"The information that the sniffer dog was sent after three days is completely wrong. Sniffer dog was sent twice, on 9th and then on 12th (August). A notice under Section 35(1) of BNS has been sent to Sukhendu Sekhar Ray," the Kolkata Police said in a statement.

Reaction of other TMC leaders

Meanwhile, the TMC MP's call for Commissioner Goyal's interrogation in the brutal murder and rape case has not been accepted within his party. Another prominent leader of the ruling TMC, Kunal Ghosh , strongly opposed the demand, calling his comment "unfortunate".
