Kolkata Rape-Murder: Sneha Mordani's Exclusive Ground Report From RG KAR Hospital | India Today

The Union Health Ministry on Saturday asked doctors to end their nationwide strike against the gruesome rape and murder of the trainee doctor at Kolkata's RG Kar Hospital and assured them that a committee tasked with proposing safety measures for healthcare professionals will be formed. This committee, as per the centre, will include input from all relevant stakeholders, including state governments, who will be invited to share their insights and suggestions.

This came as the Indian Medical Association (IMA), earlier, called a 24-hour nationwide strike in protest of the brutal murder and rape of a trainee doctor at a state-run medical college in Kolkata. The strike began at 6 am on Saturday and will continue until 6 am on Sunday.

During the protest, all health services — except for essential services and emergency care — will be suspended. The medical community is demanding justice and urgent reforms, including an overhaul of resident doctors' working and living conditions and the implementation of a central law to protect healthcare professionals from workplace violence.

Kolkata cm must resign if she can't give justice to rapist.

[TingkhakKonyak]

Please stop rape case across the India country, and let Indian woman be safe and free.

[ajaygarg]

A similar case happened on 17th july 2023 with a lady officer inside Pathankot airforce base.. she was brutally raped and she lost her life six days later at military hospital.. the authorities simply called it a robbery attempt.. everything was buried.. her name was Sqn ldr Archisha Jaswal..

[gokulganesh]

Until she gets justice, these students shouldnt quit protesting

[normanlaffrey]

Very unfortunate. The culprits are happy in their hideout. What a tragedy for our innocent girls.

[EDM_]

This is absolutely disgusting! Justice has to be served for the victim and her family!

[Lina-ochh]

This is pathetic. The Government of West Bengal has failed.

[lovelyshah]

My daughter asked me about Kolkata case, I am unable to answer her 😣😣

[sufianmehboob]

Being a Pakistani medical student I strongly condemn this act.

[MajulMk-ve]

Religion must be free and freedom to everyone in India 👍♥️

[MsSmartclass]

Wakeup indian women.. dont stop protesting.. let all indian women gather to protest against this in each and every state and in every district..

we all need to stand for this else this will happen to any of us again and again.. we should not leave this as such..

[neohengong]

Lack of CCTV surveillance deterrence ..

[Dimuk]

What do you expect in a country where the PM refused to condemn when a woman was paraded naked and raped last year in Manipur? What do you expect when the PM of the country protected a sexual assaulter like Brij Bhushan? Take it from me, this Kolkata incident is just a tip of an iceberg

[judithnarciso]

😢Our heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family.She may rest in peace.Justice to Dra.and to all victims of injustices in India 😢

[aairagram]

If she doesn't get justice, the nation is doomed

[Thefourheadedboy]

This is the bestest thing the protesters did

[goes]

Securty in the Government Hospitals accross the country is important not only for Doctors but for the patients also. But the gruesome murder under pretext of "Rape" on the hapless MD Lady intern was surreptitiously committed by her own medical collegues irrespective of Rank and file, at RG Kar Medical college, for some nefarious reasons. Dear All concerned what action to be taken against those perpetrators, mostly of whom were "doctors" of same hospital?

[Akp]

Plz dont stop your voice till the soul gets

[farhanaabdulhussein]

Shame on those who committed this crime. Just couple of years ago these doctors put their lives on line to save us....unbelievable. 😢. These mobs would not dare do this to police stations, then why the hospital where doctors save lives...

[radooar]

Change the Indian law ....
Guys there is no Indian law against rape ... It's an British law ....
Jab tak Indian law main chatrapati shivaji maharaj ke time ka saza nahi aata tab tak kuch nahi ho skta ...😢
