New Delhi. While hearing the petitions filed in the case of rape and murder of a female trainee doctor in Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College, today the High Court asked a sharp question to the Mamata Banerjee government of West Bengal, asking why the government is trying to save the principal of the medical college? The court also asked how will you assure that the investigation will be transparent? The court has ordered to present the case diary of this entire case today itself. Let us tell you that the Principal of the Medical College, Dr. Sandeep Ghosh, resigned from his post yesterday. But shortly after the resignation, he has been reappointed in Calcutta National Medical College and Hospital.

On the other hand, Dr. Indra Shekhar Prasad, President of Resident Doctors Association AIIMS Delhi, said that this is a very serious incident. A woman on duty was brutally murdered after being sexually harassed. If such incidents happen at workplaces, how will women work? We want a CBI inquiry into this, until then we will continue our protest. Let us tell you that resident doctors in most government hospitals across the country are on strike since yesterday in protest against the rape and murder of a female trainee doctor.
