Resident Doctors Demand Justice in Trainee Doctor's Alleged Murder at RG Kar

A delegation of resident doctors met CBI officials regarding the alleged sexual assault and murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College in Kolkata. Dissatisfied with the investigation’s progress, they sought a timeline, which the CBI refused. Protests have impacted hospital operations.

A delegation of resident doctors met with Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) officials on Friday to discuss the alleged sexual assault and murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata, West Bengal. Speaking to ANI on Saturday, a representative expressed dissatisfaction with the CBI's responses.

Dr. Kinjal, a delegation member, stated they requested a timeline from the CBI to identify those involved, but the agency declined to set a time limit. 'Our delegation of five who visited the CBI at CGO Complex received no satisfactory answers. Our sole demand is justice. We urged the CBI to inform us of the culprits so we can direct our protest accordingly. They asked us to keep faith in them and mentioned they would proceed as soon as possible,' said Dr. Kinjal.

Dr. Kinjal also noted that outpatient departments (OPDs) at RG Kar Medical College are non-operational due to the protest, although emergency services continue under senior doctors. Meanwhile, a Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) team from Delhi arrived in Kolkata to conduct a polygraph test on former RG Kar principal Sandip Ghosh and others connected to the case.

Kolkata police reported that, as per court orders, all documents concerning RG Kar's alleged financial irregularities have been handed over to the CBI by SIT. The court has given the CBI three weeks to submit an investigation progress report by September 17.

The trainee doctor was discovered dead in the seminar hall of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital on August 9. (ANI)
