West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose has strongly condemned the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. Describing the incident as a “shame to the entire nation,” Bose emphasized the state government’s responsibility for maintaining law and order and called for decisive action to prevent such atrocities in the future.
The tragic event has sparked widespread outrage and protests across the country. Doctors are demanding swift justice for the victim and accountability from the hospital administration.
A group of protesting doctors, led by Shreya Saw, has expressed dissatisfaction with the initial investigation and called for the arrest of all culprits within 48 hours. They are also demanding the resignation of several top hospital officials for their alleged negligence.
The case has taken a significant turn with the Calcutta High Court transferring the investigation to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). This decision came in response to mounting pressure and allegations of incompetence against the state police.
An autopsy report on the tragic death of the 31-year-old doctor, who was raped and murdered at a leading government medical college in Kolkata, has raised disturbing suspicions of gang rape. The post-mortem findings revealed a significant amount of fluid in the victim’s body, suggesting that multiple individuals may have been involved in the brutal crime, according to reports from two major media outlets on Wednesday.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has joined the condemnation, accusing the Mamata Banerjee-led government of shielding the real culprits. The party has organized protests demanding the arrest of those responsible.
Meanwhile, the CBI has initiated its investigation and sent specialized teams to Kolkata. The accused, Sanjoy Roy, has been brought to the Central Government Offices complex for further questioning.
As the investigation continues, the medical community persists in its protests, demanding justice for the victim and improved safety measures for healthcare professionals. OPD services at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital remain suspended in solidarity with the ongoing protests.
