The incident in question involves the brutal rape and murder of a 31-year-old doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, an event that has shaken the nation. The victim, a second-year PGT doctor in the chest medicine department, was found semi-nude with multiple injury marks, leading to suspicions of sexual abuse prior to her murder. Her body was discovered inside the hospital’s seminar hall on Friday after she had been on duty the previous night.
In light of the case’s gravity, the Calcutta High Court has ordered the investigation to be handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). The case has ignited protests and strikes by junior doctors, trainees, and medical students across the country, significantly impacting healthcare services.
