Doctors Rally for Justice: Demand Swift Action in RG Kar Incident

Doctors in Kolkata demanded a speedy investigation into the RG Kar rape-murder incident, questioning the exclusion of additional suspects in the CBI charge sheet. Protests included rallies and a fast-unto-death demonstration. The police intervened but did not arrest any participants, despite traffic disruptions in the city.

In Kolkata, doctors staged rallies on Wednesday, urging swift completion of the investigation into the shocking RG Kar rape-murder case. They expressed dissatisfaction with the CBI's charge sheet, which named only one individual as the primary suspect, calling for the inclusion of all 'culprits' by October 15, coinciding with a Supreme Court hearing.

A significant rally progressed from Karunamoyee to the CBI's Salt Lake office, highlighting the protestors' demands. 'Inquest reports suggest multiple perpetrators,' noted a senior doctor, questioning the exclusion of additional suspects in the charge sheet. The CBI's existing report names Kolkata Police civic volunteer Sanjay Roy as the 'sole accused' in the August 9 incident.

Meanwhile, an unauthorized 'Abhaya Rally' faced police intervention across the city, citing lack of permission. Processionists encountered police roadblocks, leading to a symbolic clash at Chandni Chowk. Despite police efforts, several participants advanced towards Esplanade, supporting junior medics on a fast-unto-death. The police action resulted in significant traffic disruptions, sparking criticism from citizens.
