Tragic Incident Shakes Kolkata Medical Community
A tragic event has sent shockwaves through the medical community in Kolkata. The family of a young doctor, who was brutally murdered at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, alleges that hospital officials misled them about the cause of death.
Initially, when the parents rushed to the hospital after hearing the news, they were told their daughter had died by suicide. However, upon seeing her body, they quickly rejected that explanation.
The Kolkata Police have since called in the Head of the Chest Medicine Department for questioning, as they continue their investigation into this horrific case. The police have already questioned several junior doctors who were present on the night of the crime.
The victim, a postgraduate trainee, was found dead in a seminar hall at RG Kar Medical College on Friday. Sanjay Roy, a civic volunteer, has been arrested in connection with her murder.
In light of the incident, Sandip Ghosh, the hospital principal, resigned from his position, alongside other hospital officials. This shake-up in administration comes as the investigation unfolds, revealing disturbing details about the victim’s injuries.
An autopsy report outlined various injuries on the victim’s body, indicating a brutal and violent attack. As the investigation progresses, police will continue to gather statements from those involved.
The Indian Medical Association has expressed strong condemnation of the crime and is demanding thorough and fair investigations. They’ve also organized candle march protests to honor the victim and call for safety reforms in medical institutions.
Resident doctors across various institutions have rallied together, urging for immediate actions to ensure their safety and bring those responsible to justice. The call for change echoes throughout the medical community in Kolkata, leaving many in disbelief and mourning.
