Doctor’s rape-murder, junior doctors question Mamata’s 7-day deadline to police

Junior doctors at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital on Monday questioned why West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee set a seven-day deadline for solving the rape-murder of a postgraduate trainee, asserting they would continue their strike until their demands are met.

Despite Banerjee’s promise of a transparent investigation, the protesters criticised the delay, demanding a



judicial inquiry, capital punishment for the culprits, and adequate compensation for the victim’s family.

They also called for an apology from Kolkata Police regarding rumours being spread about the investigation and demanded that all senior officials of the hospital be removed and not reassigned elsewhere. Initially, police had suspected it to be a suicide, but later changed their version.
