Kolkata Doctor Rape-Murder Case: Doctors' Body Demands Update on Investigation
Kolkata: The West Bengal Joint Platform of Doctors (WBJPD), an umbrella group of senior medical professionals, has demanded updates on the investigation into the tragic death of a female postgraduate doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. The doctors have raised their concerns by sending emails to both the state chief secretary and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) regarding the matter.
In their emails, the doctors expressed dissatisfaction with the delay in initiating judicial proceedings against Sandip Ghosh, a former principal of the hospital and one of the key accused in the case who was recently released on bail.

The CBI filed a chargesheet in the rape-murder case, naming the civic volunteer as the prime accused. Despite the commencement of trials, the CBI, however, failed to file a chargesheet in the financial irregularities case within the stipulated 90 days against Ghosh. Both Ghosh and Mondal were eventually granted bail.
