Principal of Kolkata Medical College Resigns Amid Outrage Over Kolkata Doctor’s Rape-Murder as Protests and Strikes Continue for Justice
The tragic rape and murder of a post-graduate medical student in RG Kar Medical College & Hospital Kolkata has created a massive upheaval, which resulted in the public resignation of the hospital’s principal, Prof. (Dr. ) Sandip Ghosh. A young doctor was found partially clad dead in the seminar hall of the hospital opposite to where she was dining with fellow colleagues. The preliminary post-mortem results highlighted that she had died due to severe injuries including having infused blood from her eyes, nose, and the private parts, and had a broken neck and other body parts.

Expectedly, Dr. Ghosh submitted his resignation citing defamation in the social media and that he could not any longer withstand any form of abuse from anyone. He stated that he wanted to resign in order to allow a grieving parent to replace him, to give the victim, who was like a daughter to him, justice.

During the last couple of days, Kolkata police have beefed up the investigation regarding the incident by calling three junior doctors and a housekeeping staff on that shift for questioning. The suspect recently arrested in connection to the crime is a man, despite not being employed by the hospital, but a regular visitor. Further, he attempted to wash off blood that was smudged on his shoe but was found to have blood on it by the police.
The attack has acted as a catalyst to foment tension in West Bengal as junior doctors, interns, and postgraduate residents have gone on a strike for the fourth day running and demanding a magisterial inquiry into the case. Tentative: Hospital services remain closed as the medical profession continues to look for justice for its dead member.
