Shame is that bollywood actors are silent on this incident and not only them many people are not even reacting to it. Stop considering those people as heroes and fight for doctors who are the real heroes.

This crime was not committed by any patient. Role of politically connected doctors is being talked about in Kolkata. Why is IMA silent on role of doctors in this crime?

[sujitkumardash]

This type of crimes will go on increasing if mamata and her nephew are in power.
Bengal people should learn something and choose right person to run the state.

Sad for incident in our india i believe in law and our central government but I requested to doctors don't punish whole patients in our india for one sad crime.

Concern of the association could be understood but this will only effect the general public.
