Protests Erupt at CBI Office Over Tala Police Officer's Arrest in RG Kar Case

Demonstrators gathered at the CGO Complex as the CBI took Tala Police Station's officer-in-charge, Abhijit Mondal, for a medical examination following his arrest in the RG Kar hospital medic's rape-murder case. Protesters demanded justice for the woman doctor and criticized the police's initial investigation.

On Sunday morning, several demonstrators assembled outside the CGO Complex to protest as CBI officers escorted Abhijit Mondal, the officer-in-charge of Tala Police Station, for a medical examination. Mondal was arrested in connection with the rape-murder case of a postgraduate woman doctor from RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.

The protesters, carrying placards and posters, voiced their demands for justice for the deceased doctor and criticized the police's handling of the initial investigation. Mondal, detained on charges including evidence tampering and delaying the FIR, is set to be produced before the Sealdah court.

Tensions rose as CBI sleuths had to navigate through the crowd to depart the complex with Mondal. The case, now under the purview of the Central Bureau of Investigation following a Calcutta High Court directive, continues to draw public outrage.
