Addressing a press conference at the state secretariat, Nabanna, in the afternoon, the Chief Minister announced the suspension of three senior IPS officers of the state: Vineet Goyal (the then Commissioner of Kolkata Police), Indira Mukherjee, and Abhishek Gupta. Suvendu has also directed that departmental proceedings be initiated against all three IPS officers.

In the recent elections, the victim's mother contested the polls and secured a victory, turning this issue into a major political talking point. Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari has already expressed his intention to constitute a commission to investigate this incident; a formal announcement regarding this is now awaited.
