Suspicion and Public Outcry
- The unexpected renovation has sparked fears that the hospital administration might be attempting to cover up critical evidence before the CBI assumes control of the investigation.
- Many are concerned that this last-minute work is an attempt to mislead the investigation and protect those responsible for the crime.
- The timing of the renovation, just hours before the CBI’s scheduled takeover, has fueled these suspicions, with some fearing that crucial evidence could be destroyed or altered.
Reactions from Hospital Staff and Public
- Several hospital staff members have expressed their unease, questioning why the renovation is happening now, rather than after the investigation is complete.
- Medical professionals and the public alike are demanding transparency from the hospital administration and a thorough examination of the renovation activities by the CBI.
Calls for Accountability
- The public is calling for the CBI to closely scrutinize the renovation work and investigate whether it was initiated with the intention of hiding evidence.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has been directed to take over the investigation into the tragic rape and murder of a 31-year-old doctor at Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. The decision was made by the Calcutta High Court following concerns about the hospital administration’s handling of the case and potential tampering of evidence.
Court’s Decision and Observations
- The Calcutta High Court noted serious lapses in how the hospital responded after the doctor’s body was found in a seminar hall, raising concerns about the integrity of the ongoing investigation.
- The court emphasized the need for an independent investigation, as the victim’s parents feared that evidence might be tampered with.
- The High Court criticized Dr. Sandip Ghosh, the former principal of RG Kar Medical College, for not being proactive. His swift reassignment as Principal of another medical college shortly after his resignation sparked protests among the medical community.
