CPI(M) to March for Justice: Demanding Swift Probe in Doctor's Tragic Case

The CPI(M) plans a protest march to the CBI office in Kolkata on November 21, marking 100 days since the High Court handed over a rape-murder case involving a doctor to the CBI. The march demands swift investigation and justice for the victim. Additional protests address safety concerns in educational institutions.

The Communist Party of India (Marxist) announced a protest march to the Central Bureau of Investigation's office in Kolkata, scheduled for November 21, to demand a timely conclusion to the investigation into a doctor's rape-murder case.

This march marks the 100th day since the Calcutta High Court assigned the case to the central agency. West Bengal CPI(M) state secretary, Mohammad Salim, emphasized the need for swift justice for the victim, whose tragic death has sparked widespread outrage and resolute protests by junior doctors statewide.

In addition to highlighting delays in the investigation, the CPI(M) is also addressing the alleged climate of intimidation within West Bengal's educational institutions, showing solidarity with junior doctors and supporting broader demands for women's safety in the region.
