Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) summoned four doctors from RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, Kolkata on Friday, as the protest over the rape and murder of the trainee doctor continues.
The CBI team will question these postgraduate trainees about the night the incident occurred.
The accused Sanjoy Roy has also been brought out of the CBI branch complex and now is taken for a medical examination.
Meanwhile, the doctors continued their protest against the rape and murder of the trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College.
Dr Priyanka from Gandhi Hospital said, “I am from Kolkata myself… I have been speaking to my friends back home about the mob attacks on hostels to destroy evidence because they know the gravity of the situation. They know that we are united all across the country and they are trying their best to scare our colleagues in Bengal. Our friends and colleagues in Bengal are spending sleepless nights because they are scared and even they don’t know what going to happen next… Our fight will not end soon, it will continue and we will escalate it if needed.”
Doctors are protesting all across the country.
Junior doctors of RML Hospital, Delhi, staged a protest against the rape and murder of a woman resident doctor at Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
Dr. Akash from RML Hospital said, “I appeal to all doctors and common people to reach Nirman Bhawan in large numbers so that we can peacefully put forward our issues in front of the government and seek justice for our colleague from Bengal who lost her life to this barbaric and gruesome act. We also want to tell our friends protesting in Bengal that they are not alone in this fight, all doctors across the country stand in solidarity with them… We demand a Central Protection Act from the government. Our protest will continue till we do not get assurance from the government that concrete steps will be taken.”
A member of SUCI (Communist) Dr Shahriar Alam said, “Today this strike has a huge impact. People have spontaneously responded to our call and throughout Siliguri like the Medical College area, people have not taken out their vehicles, and they have not opened the shops. We can say that the impact is very good. We have called this strike to protest against the heinous incident at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.”
He further said that the strike was also called to protest against the vandalism at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
“The brutal rape and murder and then two days ago at midnight outsider goons attacked and assaulted the doctors, nurses, protesters and even the patients. They broke everything inside the hospital to clear away the evidence so that the murderers and rapists can be saved. In protest, we have called for a strike. This movement has spread throughout the country and abroad. Doctors, nurses, and people have expressed their solidarity,” he said.
A postgraduate trainee doctor, on August 9, was raped and murdered on duty at RG Kar Medical College in Kolkata, which led to nationwide strikes and protests by the medical fraternity.
