TMC Leader Kunal Ghosh Supports Justice for RG Kar Medical College Case

In Kolkata, West Bengal, Trinamool Congress leader Kunal Ghosh addressed the ongoing protests by junior doctors. He stated that the demand for justice is valid and urged the CBI to complete its investigation swiftly, ensuring the culprits receive the death penalty.

Ghosh said, “We want CBI to finish its investigation and the culprits will be given the death penalty. We will not comment on the agitation going on by the junior doctors. Yesterday, the deadline was there till 5 pm to resume work. The Chief Minister was waiting for them. We are also supporting the demand for justice, but many patients are being harassed. We want the CBI to investigate as soon as possible.”

Earlier, the West Bengal Medical Council in Kolkata held a rally demanding justice in the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital rape-murder case. Doctors carried banners stating, “In demand of punishment for all rapist-murderers and their accomplices in the Abhaya rape and murder case.” The procession saw doctors raising slogans and taking to the streets to voice their demand for justice.

Meanwhile, the father of the deceased trainee doctor from Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College expressed dissatisfaction with Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s role in the case. He said, “We are not satisfied with the role of the CM (Mamata Banerjee) in the case; that’s why we went to the CBI. She hasn’t done any work. One of the policemen came to our house, they said we have arrested Sanjay Roy and he will be produced in fast track court and will get a death sentence. But the incident that happened with my daughter was not the work of just one person. We have been saying this since starting that persons from the department involved in this.”

The tragic incident involved a second-year postgraduate medical student who was raped and murdered inside the seminar hall of RG Kar Medical College on August 9.
