Following a Supreme Court directive, doctors in Kolkata, who have been protesting the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, have decided to engage in negotiations with Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
The Supreme Court had ordered the doctors to end their protest and resume work, but the doctors defied the deadline and continued their demonstration.
Now, they are preparing to send an email to Banerjee’s office to request a meeting. Their demands include justice for the victim and accountability for those involved in covering up the crime.
The trainee doctor was found dead in a seminude state in the hospital’s seminar hall. Police have arrested Sanjay Roy, a civil volunteer who was seen on CCTV entering the seminar hall at 4:03 am.
Roy has claimed to the CBI that he is innocent and that the victim was already unconscious when he entered.
The CBI has also arrested Sandip Ghosh, the former principal of the hospital, on charges of corruption.
Ghosh is under investigation for allegedly delaying the victim’s parents from viewing her body for three hours and ordering renovation work near the crime scene.
