Trinamool MP Summoned By Cops Over "Sniffer Dog" Claim In Rape-Murder Probe

Sukhendu Shekhar Ray had claimed that a dog squad was sent to the crime scene three days after the body of the victim was found on August 9.

The Kolkata Police today summoned Trinamool Congress MP Sukhendu Shekhar Ray for allegedly spreading misinformation about the details surrounding the brutal rape and murder of a post-graduate trainee doctor at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.

Mr Ray had claimed that a dog squad was sent to the crime scene three days after the body of the victim was found on August 9. 

The summons follows closely on the heels of the Kolkata Police issuing summonses to actor-turned-politician and BJP leader Locket Chatterjee and two doctors - Kunal Sarkar and Subarno Goswami - over misinformation surrounding the incident.
