Agnimitra Paul criticised the Kautali Police for "not filing FIR" even after the parents of the deceased minor urged them. She further demanded the postmortem from a central government hospital, showing her distrust of the state government.
"A nine-year-old girl who was returning from tuition yesterday, her body was found in a canal today. The girl's family had urged the police to file an FIR in the matter but Mamata Banerjee's police did not register it. Those who have seen her body she had injuries on her body similar to those on Abhaya's body. In this case, the body should be preserved.

"Under Mamata Banerjee no Maa Maati Manush or Mahila is safe ... Only rapists are. A Class 4 girl has been raped and murdered on her way back home from tuition at a village in West Bengal's South 24 Parganas district. Angry villagers attacked the Kultali PS since they refused to take the complaint lest they upset Home Minister Mamata Banerjee. From the RG Kar case to this, institutional cover-up and Balatkari Bachao are the only agenda of the TMC government. Mamata Banerjee must Go," said Poonawalla in a post on X.
