Calcutta HC grants bail to DYFI leader Kalatan Dasgupta in audio clip case

Kolkata/IBNS: The Calcutta High Court granted bail to Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) leader Kalatan Dasgupta, who was arrested over an audio clip, brought to the public fore by Trinamool Congress leader Kunal Ghosh alleging a conspiracy to attack the protesting junior doctors.


After a long hearing on Thursday, a bench of Justice Rajarshi Bharadwaj granted bail to the youth leader on a personal bond of Rs. 500.

According to the bail order, Kalatan cannot be arrested in connection with the case without the permission of the court.

The court also reprimanded Bidhannagar Police and asked them about the source of the audio clip.

The bail was a huge blow to the Trinamool Congress government in the audio-clip case.

The judge also asked how a politician (Trinamool leader Kunal Ghosh) disclosed the audio clip to the media before police took action against Kalatan.

The audio clip, which was not been verified by IBNS independently, captured a conversation between two people allegedly planning an attack on thousands of junior doctors, who are camped outside the state Health and Family Welfare office Swasthya Bhavan in the Salt Lake area demanding justice for the RG Kar rape-murder case.

The viral audio referred to two people whose names start with the letters S' and 'A' respectively.

One person- named Sanjib Das- was arrested last Friday. Kalatan, who has been accused of being the person in the conversation, was arrested by the Bidhannagar Police on Saturday.

Reacting to his arrest, Kalatan had told the media, "It is a tactic to divert people's attention from the movement demanding justice for the RG Kar incident."

Meanwhile, the marathon second round of talks between agitating junior doctors and the Bengal government officials failed to see any resolution on Tuesday to the ongoing impasse with the medics stating they would continue their ceasework as no written assurance was provided to them on their demands regarding safety at the hospital.

The last meeting between protesting junior doctors and Mamata Banerjee at the latter's Kalighat residence on Monday saw the removal of Police Commissioner Vineet Goyal, DC North Abhishek Gupta, and two other health officials.

The junior doctors are protesting for more than 40 days now over the gruesome rape and murder of a medic at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital on Aug 9.
