The medical fraternity has severely criticised this mass transfer order, alleging that the Government has punished these doctors for raising their voice against the RG Kar Medical College incident.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the United Doctors Front Association wrote, "We strongly condemns @MamataOfficial @BengalGovernor unjust transfer of faculty members who supported our protest.These punitive measures will not silence our demands for justice and security.We stand united and resolute in our fight."

"The West Bengal government has resorted to the pettiest and cheapest of tactics to suppress the peaceful protest by doctors of Kolkata. They have just issued a “never happened before” transfer order against all faculty who raised their voice to ask for #justiceformoumitadebnath," wrote Dr. Datta from AIIMS Delhi.

Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that the half-naked body of the deceased RG Kar PG Respiratory Medicine medico was recovered from the seminar hall of the hospital on Friday morning. A preliminary autopsy report has indicated sexual abuse before she was killed. As per the inquest report, there was bleeding from the doctor's eyes and mouth, injury on the face and nails, bleeding from her genitals, and several other injury marks on different parts of her body.

Soon after the news of this horrific incident came to light, doctors in Bengal and across the country started a massive protest demanding justice. Lakhs of doctors across the country initiated a strike, causing major disruptions to medical services nationwide. The doctors are demanding not only justice but also for the authorities to address safety concerns at the workplace.

Apart from the transfer of these 42 faculties across the State, altogether 190 Health Assistants have also been transferred.
