Dear hindustan times. Clearly seen in video the mob consisted of 1000 people. You have mentioned 40 people small mob. This is wrong reporting.

[dontknow]

It was pre-planned to erase all evident from the place

[DevikaMani-pq]

This case looks similar to Srimathi case in tamil nadu
1. Murder informed as suicide to parents
2. Mob pretending as protestors destroying the crime scene

[amp]

Clear efforts to destroy the evidence. Well done Didi.

Samvidhan is safe now.

[ankifreaky]

Kolkatta police are so corrupted, politicians are involved in heinous crime. Law and order have just became mockery in Bengal.

[booknolr]

Land of Rabindranath, Vivekananda, Subahs, Bankim Chand is now land of Hooligans and J!hadis . And we all know how Didi write the script

[Ajmalrajrs]

Under whose order did this mob attack the hospital, doctors and police? A big question that needs answers.

[anupamdein]

This vandalism is staged.Find out the perpetrators.

[aditisharma]

A small mob???40 people??This is so tone deaf .do better hindustan times.

[BLUERAY]

Blame it on people of West Bengal who elected criminals and murderers to power.

[debarpandey]

It saddens me. My kolkata is doomed. My Bengal is doomed. My India is doomed. It's no independence day for us.

[ibnuibrahim]

Police and Dean responsible. Govt especially CM failed in their responsibility.

[kezakietuonaga]

Attacking the Hospitals is very Bad & Ugly.

When it comes to crimes like rape, every victim deserves justice and attention, regardless of their background, profession, or social status. However, the unfortunate reality is that cases involving individuals from higher social or professional standings, such as doctors or engineers, often receive more media coverage and public outcry. There might be an underlying systemic bias where the voices of the less privileged are not given the same weight or importance. Media too often focuses on cases that they believe will attract more public attention or outrage i.e when a victim is from a professional background, it may be perceived as more "shocking" or "newsworthy, " leading to more coverage. iLL mindset 🙄!

It's crucial to emphasize that every rape, regardless of who the victim is, is a heinous crime and deserves the full attention of the justice system, media, and society. The fact that many cases, especially those involving victims from less privileged backgrounds, go unnoticed or unreported is a grave injustice.

Efforts must be made to ensure that all victims, regardless of their background, receive equal attention, support, and justice. This involves not only holding perpetrators accountable but also addressing the systemic issues that lead to such disparities in the first place. Society and the media need to do better in recognizing the value of every human life and the seriousness of every crime, regardless of the victim's social or professional status. ☝️🙏

[Nesi-rj]

Why attacking the hospital, and making doctors to suffer more,

[muthuumapathy]

In a similar case in Tamil Nadu police dragged the death case to back and pushed vandalisation case to the fore.😢

[pratimroy]

The police have acted late. There were over 200 hooligans, turning violent like Flash Mob. It was horrific, they vandalised the ENT seminar hall, destroyed medicines that could have saved over 500 patients.
