RG Kar victim’s mother faced TMC protests during polling

BJP’s Panihati candidate Ratna Debnath, also the mother of RG Kar rape-murder victim, faced protests by TMC workers when she visited a booth in the Assembly constituency in West Bengal’s North 24 Parganas district, where polling was underway on Wednesday.
She also accused the ruling party activists of preventing her from leaving the booth premises, following an altercation with them over an allegation of influencing voters.
“When I was coming out of the booth, I noticed an elderly woman who looked infirm and had difficulty walking. I requested those present there to help the person cast her vote.
But as I stepped out, TMC activists accused me of influencing the voter and prevented me from leaving the spot,” she told reporters.
