Sushil Modi seeks speedy trial in gangrape case

Senior BJP leader and former deputy chief minister Sushil Kumar Modi on Friday condemned the brutal gangrape and the murder of a girl from Bihar in Kolkata and demanded a speedy trial of the case to bring perpetrators to justice.

"The gangrape and death of a 16-year-old girl from Bihar deserves condemnation in strongest words, the least could be done by the West Bengal government is to carry out speedy trial of the case in order to bring the perpetrators to justice," he told reporters.

Being a woman herself, the West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee should intervene in the matter to ensure expeditious probe and speedy trial of the accused persons in the gangrape case, Modi said.
