Mithun Chakraborty Demands 'Justice' In Kolkata Rape-Murder Case: 'Being A Bengali, Can't Walk With My Head Up' (VIDEO)

Actor-politician Mithun Chakraborty recently criticised the West Bengal government and demanded justice for the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata. The official X account of BJP West Bengal shared a video in which Mithun is seen expressing his disappointment.

In the video, Mithun is heard saying, "I have been saying many times in many places that the situation in West Bengal will be very scary in the coming days. Being a Bengali, I can’t walk with my head up.”

He added, "My sympathies are with the victim's family. Those who are involved, should be immediately arrested and punished."

Sharing the video, the Twitter handle wrote, "Atrocities such as the murder of female students in West Bengal, Mahaguru Mithun Chakraborty's speech to protest against the insecurity of women and demand justice for 'Abhaya'."

In February 2024, Mithun was hospitalised at Apollo Hospital in Kolkata after he complained of chest pain while shooting. He was diagnosed with an Ischemic Cerebrovascular Accident (Stroke) of the brain. Later, he was discharged from the hospital on February 12.

Reacting to his hospitalisation, the actor told IANS, "I eat like a demon. So I was punished. My advice for everyone is control your diet. Those who are diabetic should not have the misconception that consuming sweets will not make any difference. Control your diet."

On the work front, Mithun was last seen in Suman Ghosh's hit Bengali film Kabuliwala.
