RG Kar PG Medico Murder Case: Nurses hold protest, demand strict action

On Friday, the Leader of the Opposition in the West Bengal Legislative Assembly and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader, Suvendu Adhikari, demanded a CBI inquiry into the death of the 31-year-old postgraduate trainee doctor.

According to an ANI report, taking to the social media platform X, Suvendu Adhikari stated, "The body of the second-year postgraduate student at R G Kar Medical College, found dead inside the Seminar Hall on the 3rd floor of the emergency building under mysterious circumstances, reportedly had injury marks."

"Unconfirmed reports suggest signs of strangulation and traces of seminal fluid. This appears to be a clear case of murder, possibly involving rape. The case should be immediately transferred to the CBI," he added. He further criticised the state government, saying, "Instead of addressing the issue seriously, the State Government has formed an 11-member inquiry committee, which bizarrely includes some interns. It seems the government is either trying to cover up its negligence or is not taking this matter seriously."

"I urge the student community, especially medical students, to protest vigorously against the State Government's complacent attitude. I will provide all the support necessary to ensure justice for the deceased student," the BJP leader declared.

Earlier on Friday, Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Sougata Roy also commented on the incident, stating, "I learned that this student is from our constituency. I have reviewed all the documents and investigated the matter. We hope the accused will be arrested and punished soon", adds ANI.

On Friday evening, a group of students organised a candlelight march in the city following the discovery of the postgraduate trainee doctor's body.
