KOLKATA: A shocking incident has shaken the RG Kar Medical College as the body of a second-year postgraduate trainee doctor was found inside a seminar hall on Friday morning. This tragic discovery has led to protests and rising tensions on campus.
The doctor, who was specializing in respiratory medicine, was discovered around 7:30 AM. Officials reported serious injuries on her body, including marks suggesting she had been strangled. There were also concerning signs of possible sexual assault.
The victim’s family has been vocal, claiming their daughter was raped and murdered. The father stated that the authorities seemed to be covering up the details surrounding her death. “We have lost our daughter. Unless we get justice, we will never be satisfied,” he said.
Following the grim discovery, groups of fellow doctors and medical interns went on strike, demanding justice and transparency from the authorities. They protested outside the emergency building, standing firm until their conditions about the postmortem and inquiry were met.

Efforts are underway to gather more evidence, including reviewing security footage and call records. The investigation is ongoing, and the community remains on edge, waiting for answers.
