Kolkata Police seeks public help

Vandalism at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital
Unidentified miscreants entered the premises of state-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital shortly after midnight on Thursday and vandalised portions of the medical facility, where the body of a woman doctor was found last week, police said. The incident took place amid midnight protests by women against the horrific rape and murder of the doctor at the hospital.
A group of around 40 people, posing as protesters, entered the hospital, vandalising the emergency department, nursing station, and medicine store, while also damaging CCTV cameras and ransacking a stage where junior doctors had been demonstrating since August 9 protesting the alleged rape and murder of a woman postgraduate trainee there and demanding security at their workplace.
Healthcare services in the state have been paralyzed for seven consecutive days as junior doctors continue their cease-work strike, demanding justice for their colleague. The closure of emergency and outpatient departments in most state-run hospitals has caused significant distress among patients.
CBI grills hospital officials
The CBI officers on Thursday questioned five doctors from the hospital, along with its former medical superintendent-cum-vice-principal (MSVP), the principal, and the head of the Chest Department where the victim's body was discovered, according to an official.
The CBI also interrogated the officer-in-charge of the Tala police station, which has jurisdiction over the hospital. Investigators have requested details of Civic Volunteer Sanjay Roy's call records and mobile tower location, as he was arrested following the discovery of the victim's body last Friday.
Additionally, a CBI team visited the hospital, where they interviewed intern doctors, nurses, and others who were present on the night of the incident.
CBI also visited the residence of the doctor who was raped and murdered at a Kolkata hospital, and spoke to her parents as a part of their investigation, an official said. The investigators took note of the time they received the call from the hospital, informing them about the death of their daughter, he said.
The officers also asked them about their daughter's friends, and whether she complained of any problems at the state-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital where she was a postgraduate trainee doctor, he added.
