Guwahati Doctor Missing in Lohit River Area
Sushrutanagar: The medical students of North Bengal Medical College & Hospital (NBMCH) staged a protest demanding the college authorities be more proactive in tracing a third-year MBBS student who went missing as there is no news of him so far.
The third-year student was the 23-year-old Raunak Paul, who came from Tufanganj in the Cooch Behar district. A fourth-year student of the college said, "As we could not locate Raunak in the hostel on 23rd August 2022 we started searching for him. One of his relatives stays in Deshbandhupara of Siliguri. He would often visit them. But he has neither gone home nor to these relatives. We are deeply concerned as neither Raunak nor Khwaj could be found so far."
Shariar Alam, a representative of the Medical Service Centre of the NBMCH and the North Bengal Dental College Hospital, told Telegraph India, "Within a span of 15 days, two students of the same college went missing from the hostel. So far, none could be traced. We want the authorities and the police to be more active in finding them. The incidents have left several students worried."
