The rape and murder case of a trainee doctor in Kolkata was heard in the Calcutta High Court today (21 August). The petitioner’s lawyer said that the state government has formed an SIT to investigate former principal Sandip Ghosh. This is a sham to save him. However, the court said, we will now hear this case on September 4.
On the other hand, the Bengal government said that it will present the report related to the case in the court. On this, High Court Chief Justice TS Sivagnanam said, the matter is now in the Supreme Court. Keep the report with you and show it to the Supreme Court.
The last hearing in the High Court was held on 16 August. Then Chief Justice TS Sivagnanam reprimanded the state government and the police and said that a crowd of 7 thousand people had come to vandalize the hospital. What was the police doing? If the police is not able to protect itself, then how will the doctors work fearlessly.
New information has come to light in the rape-murder case of a trainee doctor in a hospital. The postmortem report has revealed that the victim died due to suffocation. That is, the victim was killed by strangulation. On Wednesday (August 21), former cricketer Sourav Ganguly will join the doctors’ protest and march in Kolkata along with his wife Dona.
