Kolkata: The West Bengal government has allocated Rs 2 crore to each medical college for their annual fest. However, concerns have been raised that this money might be misused. A petition has been filed in the Calcutta High Court, expressing fears that “the kingpins of threat culture” may take advantage of these funds.
The Calcutta High Court has directed the West Bengal government to respond to serious allegations in a PIL regarding corruption and abuse in state-run medical colleges, including exam tampering and sexual harassment. Petitioners demand a Special Investigation Team to probe the alleged “threat culture” and requested record preservation for evidence.
