On Thursday, December 26, 2024, protesting physicians made their way to the West Bengal secretariat to meet with chief secretary Manoj Pant in order to advocate for their request for the release of a “no-objection certificate that would aid the CBI in its investigation” concerning the R.G. Kar case.
A group of doctors also visited the CBI’s CGO Complex office where they engaged with agency officials to emphasize their appeal for the swift conclusion of the R.G. Kar investigation.
“The chief secretary did not meet us. We aimed to talk to him and submit our request for the state government to grant approval so that the CBI could finalize its investigation into the financial misconduct at R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital,” stated one of the protesting doctors.
On August 9, police discovered the body of a female doctor within the RG Kar hospital.
The CBI has submitted a chargesheet against the main suspect, Sanjay Roy, concerning the rape and murder of the on-duty physician.
As per the chargesheet, Roy, who works as a civic volunteer with the local police, allegedly perpetrated the crime while the victim was resting in the hospital’s seminar room during a break.
On December 24, a single bench of the Calcutta High Court instructed the parents of the R.G. Kar hospital victim to seek clarification from the chief justice’s bench regarding whether it could consider their petition for further inquiry into the rape-murder case, as the court is already addressing the issue.
