Kolkata/IBNS: The Trinamool Congress has suspended its students' wing leaders- Rajanya Haldar and Prantik Chakraborty- coming under fire after the two made a short film in the backdrop of the RG Kar rape-murder case, media reports said.

The controversy broke out after Rajanya shared the poster of the short film, titled Agomoni- Tilottamader Golpo. The poster reads, "based on the RG Kar incident".

The poster infuriated netizens as they slam Rajanya and Prantik, the lead actress and director respectively, for allegedly insulting the trainee doctor, who was raped and murdered at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital on the intervening night of August 8 and 9.

The film was scheduled to be released on Mahalaya on October 2.

"West Bengal Trinamool Chhatra Parishad hereby suspends Prantik Chakraborty from the post of Vice-Preisdent of West Bengal Trinamool Chhatra Parishad and Rajanya Haldar from the post of Vice-President of Jadavpur-Diamond Harbour District Trinamool Chhatra Parishad for anti-party activities with immediate effect.

"The decision shall remain in force until the disciplinary committee of the party reaches any final decision regarding them," said West Bengal TMCP president Trinankur Bhattacharya.

Slamming the TMC, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesperson Tarunjyoti Tewari said, "How distasteful one could be to use the RG Kar incident for business purposes. The CBI investigation is currently under the monitoring of the Supreme Court.

"We haven't heard that the victim's parents had granted them permission to make a film on their daughter."
