RG Kar: Junior doctors to continue cease work despite Supreme Court's appeal to resume services

Kolkata/IBNS: The junior doctors of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital will continue with their ceasework as a protest against the rape and murder of 31-year-old post-graduate medical student despite the Supreme Court's appeal to resume services.

After the Supreme Court's appeal, a junior doctor said, "As per our intelligence, more than one person is involved. This means the other accused is or are still roaming around us. We can't resume work if the other accused are not arrested."

"We are still not happy. We will continue our ceasework till our demands are met," one of the protesters said.

The junior doctors, particularly in West Bengal, went on a strike demanding justice for the 31-year-old, who is now referred to as Tillotama, cripping the medical system of the state.

Not just the students, people from diverse fraternities are conducting rallies in Kolkata and neighbouring districts on a regular basis with one-point demand, justice for the victim.

The Supreme Court, which on Tuesday blasted the West Bengal government over the rape-murder, ordered the posting of CISF personnel at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.

The posting has been ordered in the backdrop of the vandalism by a huge number of miscreants at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in the intervening night of August 14 and August 15 when lakhs of women and men took to streets across the state for night vigil demanding justice.

The Supreme Court has questioned the government counsel why the police didn't have the intel input of a march by 7,000 people, the figure revealed by the Kolkata Police days ago.

Kolkata Commissioner of Police Vineet Goyal last week claimed 7,000 people barged into the RG Kar Hospital and his team had no intelligence input of it.

Though over 30 people have been arrested in connection with the vandalism, the Kolkata Police has been accused of being a mute spectator while the rampage went on for about an hour.
