Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], August 10 : CPI (M) workers held a rally on Saturday demanding justice after a woman post-graduate trainee (PGT) doctor was found dead at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital on Friday.
CPI (M) West Bengal State Secretary Md Salim demanded a judicial inquiry into this matter.
Md Salim said, "The city that we used to call 'City of Joy' has now become 'City of Bhay' (City of Fear). Here, even a doctor is not safe. The principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital is close to CM Mamata Banerjee. The Police Commissioner of Kolkata was suppressing the case so the people are on the streets. We demand a judicial inquiry into this matter."
Earlier Union Minister Sukanta Majumdar and West Bengal BJP MLA Agnimitra Paul visited the residence of the female post-graduate trainee (PGT) doctor who was found dead inside the seminar hall of the government-run R G Kar Medical College and Hospital.
Majumdar said that the government should take responsibility for the incident.
Sukanta Majumdar said, "A very shameful and horrific incident has happened. This is a repeat of the Nirbhaya case in Delhi. The kind of incident we are seeing shows that law and order is not good in West Bengal. It is not at all safe for the women. The government should take responsibility for the same. The CBI should investigate it."
He further said that the police tried to conceal the facts.
"Police tried their best so that the family does not speak much. The police tried to suppress all the evidence. If you ask for resignation from CM Mamata Banerjee, then it is like hurting own's dignity. Earlier in Hanskhali, a girl was raped and CM said that she was pregnant," he added.
