Kolkata rape and murder case: Braving heavy rain in Kolkata, protestors continue agitation for justice

The Hindu  

Protests continued in Kolkata for the 36th day, demanding justice for the woman doctor who was raped and killed at the R.G. The West Bengal Junior Doctors’ Front carried out a maha micchil from Salt Lake Central Park to the headquarters of the State Health Department at Swasthya Bhawan and reiterated their five main demands: punishment of all culprits involved in the rape, murder and alleged tampering of evidence; disciplinary action against former RGKMCH principal Sandip Kumar Ghosh; the removal of Kolkata Police Commissioner Vineet Goyal and disciplinary action against Deputy Commissioner, North, and Deputy Commissioner, Central; heightened security for healthcare workers; and an end to the alleged ‘threat culture’ in government healthcare facilities. On Saturday night, the Central Bureau of Investigation arrested Mr. Ghosh and Tala police station officer-in-charge Abhijit Mondal on charges of tampering with evidence and delayed filing of FIR in connection with the rape and murder. In Salt Lake’s Karunamoyee area, hundreds of nurses also organised a protest march demanding a better working environment and increased workplace safety. In south Kolkata, ex-army officers and alumni of the Sainik School in West Bengal’s Purulia took out a peaceful protest march, while the alumni of the Calcutta Girls’ High School also organised a protest march in Wellington in central Kolkata.
