Kolkata Rape-Murder Case Arrests

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has taken significant action in the Kolkata rape-murder case, arresting Sandip Ghosh, former principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, along with Abhijit Mondal, the officer-in-charge of Tala police station. Sources indicate that Mondal's arrest followed his delayed registration of the first information report (FIR), while Ghosh was implicated for allegedly hindering the investigation's progress.

Protests from Junior Doctors

In response to these arrests, junior doctors protesting at Swasthya Bhavan expressed their satisfaction, seen singing at the protest site. One junior doctor remarked, “We have long demanded the arrest of Sandip Ghosh and Abhijit Mondal for their involvement in tampering with the evidence.”

Continue Demand for Justice

Earlier today, a delegation of junior doctors met with West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, but their discussions ended without resolution again. They are advocating for the live streaming of talks, a request denied by the Chief Minister.

Ongoing Protests and Safety Concerns

Despite the Supreme Court's directive for doctors to return to work by Tuesday, protests continue at the protest site in Salt Lake. The calls for better safety measures in medical institutions raise pressing concerns for the medical community.
