RG Kar Case: Junior doctor Aniket discharged from hospital, advised against fasting
Kolkata: Junior doctor Aniket Mahato was discharged from the hospital on Thursday, six days after being admitted due to health complications stemming from a hunger strike demanding justice for the PG medico from RG Kar Medical College Hospital.
Doctors have prescribed him seven days of "total rest," with his health to be reviewed after that period, a senior doctor of the hospital said. They have advised him against embarking on another round of fasting.
According to the PTI report, the doctor said, "His condition has improved, but he requires at least seven days of complete rest at home. Restarting fasting could be risky.''
Mahato, a prominent figure in the ongoing agitation by junior doctors, expressed gratitude for the continuous support from the community. "We will continue until we achieve justice for our colleague-sister who met such a cruel end. We will fight until our last breath," he said.
