The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has made headlines with the arrest of Sandip Ghosh, former principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, along with Abhijit Mondal, the officer-in-charge of Tala police station, related to the Kolkata rape-murder case. Reports suggest that Mondal was arrested due to his delayed registration of the FIR concerning the incident, while Ghosh is charged with misleading the investigation, further delaying justice.
Protests Erupt Among Junior Doctors
Following these arrests, junior doctors advocating for justice have gathered at Swasthya Bhavan, expressing their satisfaction over the CBI’s actions but also demanding more accountability from those involved in the case. One junior doctor noted, “We have long demanded the arrest of Sandip Ghosh and Abhijit Mondal for their involvement in tampering with the evidence.”
- Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's Involvement: Banerjee had met with junior doctors to discuss their demands, including live streaming of meetings held for transparency.
- Security Measures: In response to ongoing protests, Kolkata Police have installed CCTV cameras at protest sites to enhance security.
- Ongoing Tension: Despite the Supreme Court's insistence for doctors to return to work, protests have persisted, underscoring the unresolved tensions within the community.
This tragic case has sparked widespread demands for improved safety measures in medical institutions and led to ongoing protests in Kolkata, highlighting broader issues surrounding women's safety and justice in India.
