Kolkata: 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.
Banerjee earlier in the day asserted that her government would transfer the case to the CBI if the police failed to solve it by next Sunday.
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.
Banerjee earlier in the day asserted that her government would transfer the case to the CBI if the police failed to solve it by next Sunday.
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 claiming rumours are 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.
“Why is the investigation delayed till Sunday? We are not happy with the probe. Our demands are clear. We want a judicial inquiry into the matter and capital punishment for the culprits. The family of the doctor must be well compensated,” an agitating junior doctor said.
Talking to reporters outside the victim’s house, Banerjee said the principal of the hospital, Sandip Ghosh, has resigned from the post.
