Kolkata Rape & Murder: Doctors Stage Protests Across India; CM Mamata Banerjee Seeks CBI Probe

Junior doctors in India have called a nationwide strike in response to the rape and murder of a 32-year-old trainee doctor at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. The protests are being staged in cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, and others. The trainee doctor's body was discovered on August 9 in a seminar hall, with the autopsy revealing she had been sexually assaulted before being strangled and smothered to death. Kolkata Police have arrested a civic volunteer linked to the case, who allegedly tried to destroy evidence. The ongoing strike has led to the resignation of RG Kar Medical College Principal Sandip Ghosh. Junior doctors are calling for a speedy investigation and have demanded that the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) take over the case, a fast-track court, and improved safety measures. FORDA General Secretary Dr Sarvesh Pandey has stated that the strike will continue until these demands are met. Meanwhile, BJP leaders are questioning West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s silence on the matter.

Mamata Banerjee should resign immediately, women are most unsafe under this goverment .Better for female doctors not to take night shifts, but management won't agree

[tirthapaulchowdhury]

Culprits are always under the shelter of TMC in WB

[jayitabhattacharya]

Being a girl from Bengali family wants Mamata Banerjee to resign immediately. Because this is not done, the Ex-principal of RG KAR was given a post of Principal in Calcutta National Medical College. It's just a game of our CM

[rkg]

INDI alliance Party in Power in kolkata .. rahul gandhi should answer.. All govts should work together and provide safety to everyone..

[mumbaimalayali]

CM says if the culprit is not taken in custody by Sunday, the case will be handed over to CBI. Why should we wait till Sunday?!!!😮

[drnamrata]

No justice in Bengal, only shariya for men.

[smrithishylendran]

We need juatice ...women girl, daughter etc . Where the hell is it. Nothing moves quick in our country. Pathetic.

কেন আগামী সোমবার ? কেন আগামী কাল নয়? কেন এত সময় দেয়া হচ্ছে?

[sayanmal]

Mohua Moitra Derek O' Brien who are very much vocal against Modi are silent on this matter. Same thing was observed when Park Street gangrape and Kamduni gangrape happened.

[pradipdhar]

This the result of Bangal people for voting this T.M.C.GOVT.

[yaaaaaarrrii]

the more the outrage and protest, there will be more pressure on the police.... its best this way bc govt does not care.... please raise your voices everyone

[aspirantananyakumari]

Medical test and dna samples of whole staff and management..faculty should be taken to find out the real culprit. It is not done by a single person. The police is defending the real culprits! SHAMEFUL

[prakashanthaivalappil]

Peoples power should teach these politicians a lesson.

[outlook_abuofficial]

Resigns are not the solution, We want proper infrastructure.#wewantjustice please don't stop this fire UNTILLOURDEMANDFULFILLED
You serve the country and what about your basic needs
Pls pls don't stop

[sushantnegi]

Abh kya kardiya WB mai... Wth is with this state I swear.

[ShubhraJha-fell]

The insignificant returns she reaps are woefully inadequate for the immense strain she has endured. We are trapped in a misogynistic society that oppresses and devalues women.😔

[prashant]

Though police has claimed to capture a single culprit but circumstantial evidences, gurrsomeness of this case indicate otherwise to involvement of multiple suspects, whom police is trying to shiled for some reasons
