Today, On 1st October, junior doctors at R.G. Kar Medical College resumed their strike over the slow CBI investigation into a rape-murder case and the Supreme Court’s delays. They seek urgent action, improved safety measures, and expanded demands, highlighting a lack of governmental responsiveness and the need for genuine healthcare reform.
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.
On Wednesday(18th Sept), the West Bengal Medical Council canceled Sandip Ghosh’s medical registration due to his involvement in a CBI investigation into a junior doctor’s rape and murder. Meanwhile, Kolkata Police suspended Inspector Abhijit Mondal, who is also in CBI custody for tampering with evidence and obstructing the investigation.
