  • Following positive talks with Bengal CM, docs to make final call after discussions

    Kolkata: The meeting between the junior doctors who were agitating over the RG Kar Hospital issue and the state administration, led by the chief minister, ended on a positive note, according to people privy to the developments. The chief minister is said to have appealed to the junior doctors to resume work at the earliest. However, the doctors have said that they will take a final call only after discussions.

    The state has agreed to address issues related to strengthening the health infrastructure and providing necessary infrastructure for doctors, people in the know have said. The junior doctors submitted a memorandum to chief minister Mamata Banerjee during their meeting which started at around 7 pm and continued for almost three hours. Mamata Banerjee, Chief Secretary Manoj Pant, Director General of Police Rajeev Kumar and Junior Health Minister (MoS) Chandrima Bhattacharya were present at Monday’s meeting.

    However, the state government officials said that the junior doctors’ demand seeking the resignations of the Commissioner of Police, Director of Medical Education (DME) and Health Secretary, involved an administrative process.The chief minister allowed two stenographers who accompanied the junior doctors to be present at the meeting to record the minutes, heeding to the medics’ demand.

    It may be recalled that the doctors’ stir over the rape and murder of an RG Kar Hospital medical student on August 9 entered the 38th day on Monday. On Monday morning, the Bengal government invited the junior doctors to the chief minister’s residence in Kalighat to end the impasse over the protest in front of State Health Department Headquarters ‘Swasthya Bhawan’. Two earlier efforts to convene the meeting had failed.

    Manoj Pant has said in his letter that “…This is the fifth and final time we are reaching out to you for a meeting between the chief minister and your delegates…In view of the Honorable Supreme Court order dated 9th September 2024 directing junior doctors to resume duties by 5 pm on the 10th September 2024, it is our bound duty, as lawabiding citizens, to follow and adhere to the apex court’s directive”.In response to the Chief Secretary’s mail, the West Bengal Junior Doctor’s Front emphasized on the meeting being videographed by separate videographers by both the parties. The doctors said that if that demand was not met, the minutes of the meeting with the full transcript be recorded and formulated by both the parties.”We have been fighting for justice. We are taking the fight forward. We will not take any decision at the meeting. If the meeting needs to be extended, we will do,” Kinjal Nandi, one of the junior doctors, said.

    “We would like to reiterate that after the last proposed meeting two significant developments happened. First, the arrest of Sandip Ghosh in a case related to the rape and murder of Abhaya. Second, the arrest of Tala police station OC. These two new developments increase the significance of transparency of the meeting even more than before,” the doctors wrote.

  • Kolkata Rape Murder Case: CBI To Conduct Polygraph Test On Ex-Principal Sandip Ghosh, 4 Doctors |

    A special court in Kolkata on Thursday granted permission to the CBI to conduct a polygraph test on former RG Kar Medical College principal Sandip Ghosh and four other doctors in connection with the alleged rape and murder of a postgraduate trainee at the hospital, according to officials.

    The CBI presented Ghosh and the four doctors, who were on duty on August 9, the day of the incident, before the special court to request authorization for the lie detection test, they said.

    Officials mentioned that the polygraph test requires not only the court’s approval but also the consent of the individuals involved. The special court approved the CBI’s request. The agency has also requested to perform the polygraph test on the main accused, Sanjay Roy.

    Earlier in the day, the CBI alleged in the Supreme Court that there was an attempt by the local police to cover up the rape and killing of the postgraduate medic as the crime scene was altered by the time the federal agency took over the probe. The rape and killing of the junior doctor in a seminar hall of the hospital has sparked widespread protests.

    The medic’s body with severe injury marks was found inside the seminar hall of the hospital’s chest department in the morning of August 9. A civic volunteer of the Kolkata Police was arrested the following day. On August 13, the Calcutta High Court ordered the transfer of the probe from the Kolkata Police to the CBI, which started its investigation on August 14.

  • Kolkata Doctor Rape Murder Case: Is Accused Sanjay Roy A Psycho Killer? DNA Explains |

    The entire nation has been deeply shaken by the tragic case of the rape and murder of the trainee doctor at RGK Hospital in Kolkata. Amid various speculations about the horrific incident, it is being said that more than one person was involved in the rape-murder case, and the police and Mamata government are being accused of shielding them.

    Another speculation is about the accused, Sanjay Roy. It says that he is mentally ill and it was due to his mental condition that he committed the horrific act of raping and then murdering the lady doctor. The way in which the lady doctor was brutally killed is something that a normal person couldn’t do. If Sanjay Roy carried out this crime alone, then he is indeed a psychopath.
