RG Kar Doctor Death LIVE Updates: Hello and welcome to the Live blog brought to you by ABP Live. Please follow this space and keep refreshing the page for all the latest updates pertaining to the rape and murder of a trainee doctor in West Bengal's Kolkata.
A postgraduate trainee doctor was raped and murdered at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata while on duty last week. The body of the 32-year-old woman was found on August 9 morning in the seminar hall of the government-run hospital in the West Bengal capital. This incident has triggered a nationwide protest by doctors and medical fraternities.
Unidentified miscreants entered the premises of state-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata shortly after midnight on Thursday and vandalised portions of the medical facility, where the body of a woman doctor was found last week.
Several videos of the incident surfaced on social media, where unknown hooligans can be seen storming into the RG Kar Medical College premises and disrupting the peaceful midnight protest against the August 9 murder and rape of a trainee doctor and vandalising the vehicles, and public property, forcing security officials to disperse the mob.
West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose on Thursday said that the vandalism in the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital here is a shame to civil society. Bose paid a visit to the Hospital on Thursday afternoon to take stock of the situation. He spoke to the agitating doctors there and expressed concern over the security of women in the state.
Following the violence during the midnight protests against the rape and murder of the trainee doctor, protesting doctors on Thursday mounted pressure on the newly appointed principal, Suhrita Pal to take action against the mob attack.
Meanwhile, the Indian Medical Association on Thursday night announced a 24-hour nationwide withdrawal of non-emergency services from 6 am on August 17 to protest against the alleged rape and murder of the trainee woman doctor. Essential services will be maintained and casualty wards operational, the medical body said in a statement.
